Hair with Ribbon

This do was inspired by Chic Clips
I had to change it up a bit because Little Bean's hair is not really long enough for loops. I started by parting the hair from just about the ear to just about the ear. The I did 3 parts on top and what else? French braided them :)

Then with the 3 braids I did 2 braids, giving me 6. Then I pulled the 2 from the right over to the left and the left to the right. I secured them with elastics and some of the left over hair on the bottom. Then I pulled the middle straight down and put it all together with a blue ribbon-yup it is blue day, and Little Bean does not own blue!- I am lucky enough to be working with a little bit of natural curl so I just put a little hairspray on the ends to keep the frizz away.

There you have it.

This is just a variation of what I have all ready shown. First section the hair as close to the front hairline as you can. I did 5 little sections across. Then I placed the ribbon behind the small sections and secured the ribbon right at the ears with tiny little clips.

After spiting the hair to make the zig-zag over the ribbon I took half of the end section and braided it into a on the side french braid. I did this to both sides and then made a twisted bun and finished it off using the same ribbon around the bun.

Lesson Learned: do something other than a french braid!

Little Man's Scrapbook Page

Here is what we like to do while big sis is in school. Little Man is having a bit of a hard time letting Little Bean be gone, so we are going to have to fill the few hours she is gone with fun things to do.

This is Little Man's first scrapbook page, meaning this is the first one he got to choose everything that went on it and where to put it. He did a great job!

I think he was most excited about using a glue stick and scissors :)

Yellow Day - Braids

Today is YELLOW day in kindergarten! So this is the bow I put together (I am new to hair-other than pigtails and ponies- and hair accessories, so I know they are a bit armature-ish but we are excited about them)

I think you can pretty much see what we did here...

And here it is put together...

What I learned? I need to work on my parts!

Yesterday's Hair- A Little Asian

First I just have to say THANKS to all the fun hair blogs out there. I can not believe how many fun ideas you have!

This is what we ended up with yesterday. I am usually starting out with NO ideas until I get going. Little Bean is a good sport to let me just experiment ;)

"Red Day in Kindergarten"

I threw together a couple of little bows to match her Red Day Clothes and did a 6 french braid bun thing.

I parted the her just above the ear to the other ear. Then had her lay her head in a chair and french braided from the bottom up... it is hard to see in the picture, but if you look it is there.

Then I sectioned (not well) down the middle and then spilt that in half giving me 4 sections. On the outside I did a French braid and the inside I did a reverse french braid (can anyone tell me the name of that?)

You can see the last part best in the above picture. I just gathered the 3 braids from one side and put in in a bun with the ends spiked out (she was wearing a cute Chinese dress and I thought it all came together nicely).

I will get better with the pictures but you get the idea?!?!

Hair

My oldest just started Kindergarten and for her first day I wanted to do something extra special with her hair. After asking around and doing some good ol' google searching I found some really fun and inspired blogs (see my sidebar) that really got me excited about hair. So for the last week or so I have made bows and flower clips looked at tons of ideas and here is a weeks worth of super fun, really easy hair ideas. I know there is only about 4 ways (that I can come up with) for my little man's hair, but I thought I would throw those in here too! I am not going to include in-depth tutorials for these pictures (most of the are self-explanatory) but I will in future posts; there are just too many this time. If there is one that you really want to know about leave a comment and I will be happy to explain it!
(Sorry, I loaded the pictures backwards, so they are a little out of order)
After looking at all the pictures I think I need to work on more hair accessories... Anyway...
For this one I did a side part and did a reversed french braid (I don't know the official name) then took the end and added them to a pony tail and put all that into a messy bun. It took a little longer than the rest of them, but I think it was because I really had no idea what to do for this day, and just started, this is what I ended up with.

We call this dinosaur hair. It is just spiked up all over, a cute look on my handsome little guy! Really basic here, a zig-zag part and pig tails. I thin the over sized flowers finish it off!

This is not what I was going for, but I loved it more than my first thought. It is french braid across the back of her head, then in a bun. It would have been cute to leave it as a side pony tail, but I ran out of time to curl the ends.

Meet my "Little Man"

He is so lucky to be the only boy with 3 sisters, dontcha think ;)

Matching Ribbons

This was really fast and looked great

From the top... I had seen this on a couple of blogs, but thought since she has some curl it would be cute to pile it up in the back

baby side pony with matching ribbon.

Meet "Cutie Cookie"

I love this spunky look on her

Three sectioned ponies with baby flower clips.

My hubby calls it her little weed... I think it fits! She has got some natural curl so I just put a little hair spray in it.

Meet "Baby Cheeto"

I am working with some very fine, wispy hair with this one!

It is 5 sectioned from the front and come together in the back with a fold ponytail.

From the side

Twisted pull-through, half up

Before we added the flower, really this is a WAY easy one. Done in 5 minutes!

Meet "Little Bean"

(she could hardly sit still, and this was just for Back to School Night)

It is 6 french braids that come together in a 'messy bun'

Let the Creativity Begin

Welcome to my new blog! I decided I wanted to create a blog where my creative thoughts and projects can go. I welcome anyone with an idea to share! You will notice that I did not say a “good" idea because there is no such thing as a bad idea when it comes to getting creative. What seems like a bad idea to you can inspire another.

I will be posting anything I feel is creative:
quick fix meals-or not so quick meals
funky, spunky and adorable hair dos
photography
sewing projects
Digi-scrap pages/projects
things I try and fail--maybe you can fix it ;)
and anything else I can come up with!

So comon' Let's Get Creative!
