NEW Bottle Cap Bows... CUTE PRINCESSES

Hey.... these are the first four Princess Bottle Cap bows I'm adding to my collection... they are so fun to make, match, etc...



Available at http://www.chumbaleigh.com/

 I have a ton of new images I'm playing with for Bottle Cap bows.. these, so far, are my favorite to make. They are 100% custom... all the time... Of course I plan on replicating them for orders and craft fairs... but you can get just about any theme bow you want making these.

I made a soccer one and a personalized Easter one for my daughter. Oh and I made Mardi Gras ones for my daughter for her party at school... There are absolutely no limits when making these...

Another example is a friend bought an outfit for a present. We took a picture of the cute monkey on the shirt, resized, cropped, printed and ... we had a custom M2M (made to match) hair bow... SO MUCH FUN.

So check out my site for more, contact me directly... anything you need, I can make.

Oh and these bows come with a 3.5 inch bow with a 1 inch bottle cap (standard) or a new mini cap bow with a 2 inch bow and 1/2 inch bottle cap ☺

Thanks for checking this out and please pass it on...

I've also been working on Bow Tie style headbands. They measure about 2.5 inches across... and are attached to skinny 1/8 elastic. Great for little ones. I'll have pics up soon, but they come in just about every color and print available.

So on to "real life"... it's Monday morning, weather is yucky, but at least it's not snow... and I'm starting to get ready for a spring craft show.

Any feed back on anything... would be greatly appriciated.. oh and my site will be ready any minute now...:)

Picture Day - And some new things

So today I'm going to attempt to have my daughter model a few of my hair accessories. I have a vision... but as always things don't always go as planned... so my agenda for today is to make a few new accessories for her to model, take pictures... hopefully some that are usable and go from there... we'll see how that pans out. I'll post pics tomorrow!!!


Here are a few more things I made. This is a Stephanotis  flower with bead centers with either a french barrette back or a flat alligator clip.... Great for weddings and communions. A lovely addition to any special dress or outfit! Check them out at my Esty Store.... links below!!!
