1) Headbands for Gracie!
At AC Moore I purchased a single stem of blue/purple hydrangea, some assorted colored blue beads and blue swarovski crystals, thread, craft glue, matching colored felt, and 1/8" wide elastic cording.
I pulled 2 flower buds off the hydrangea and glued them together at an angle. For the crystal center I used craft glue - which wasn't great and I have to look into a better kind - and teeny tweezers to place them. For the beaded center, I used a needle and dark blue thread to sew them into the flower. Measure the length of elastic you will need...Gracie is about 14 and 1/2 inches right now...and glue the open ends to the back of the flower, then cover with a small cut circle of felt that matches the color of your flower.
And here is my model!
2) I also whipped up a couple of onesies for my lil girl.
My model again...
3) Cute hand-stamped gift bags!
Buy the brown paper (or white) gift bags and use letter/number stamps to decorate the outside of the bag. I used blues on our friends' because blue was their wedding color. These were small individual letter vintage stamps that I used but there are a variety of sizes/styles you can pick up at the craft stores.
