My daughter has a birthday party to go to for the 1 year old niece of her boyfriend and she asked me to make up a gift for the little girl. Since I am into bottlecaps right now, I thought to make something for her that incorporated the caps. Well, necklace is out - too young. Bookmark - well, she's not into reading alone yet and bookmarking pages. So the next best thing... hairbows! Hairbows with bottlecaps. Woo-hoo! But I couldn't use the regular bottlecaps because they may be sharp for her if she reaches up on her head, so I used the flattened bottlecaps and I think they look adorable!!!
Of course, I created the image on the caps (so much fun), created the bows, and put them all together. The pink ribbon was really ugly by itself so I added a sheer ribbon on top and I think it made it look more classy. The purple ribbon was also ugly by itself so I added some lace to the edges to give it more "umpfff".
I'm really liking the pink one. The purple I'm not sure how I feel because it's kinda cute but kinda big. I don't know. What do you think?

Hi, Where did you get your flattened bottlecaps from?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteI bought my flattened bottlecaps from this wonderful shop called Aunt Christy's.
Here's her link.... http://www.auntchristys.com
However, did you know that you can flatten bottlecaps yourself using a tortilla press? They cost like $14 at Target. Just press the regular bottlecap and ta-dah...flattened bottlecap.
