jcrew diy bracelet tutorial...

hailie and I were browsing crewcuts online for some new spring clothes for her and she spotted this bracelet..she said it was cute and she wanted me to buy it for her... $14.95..hmmm..it just screamed to me a diy though...
so here you go...30 minutes later and $0 dollars she had her bracelet...

I found an old plastic dress up bracelet of hers..and found some fabric scraps that I thought were cute together....

I cut about an inch strip all along the salvaged edge of the yard of fabric I had...

 then just put a dot of hot glue in the inside of the bracelet and started to wrap the bracelet...

There are a million flower tutorials out there, I ended up using the one from Dana at MADE.. it was a no sew one and I just did it without the dowl rod...

 hailie was super  happy with it...

 and mommy might steal it from her occasionally too!

the claw game..
you know the one..always sucks my kids in and then they never win anything..
not this time..not this claw game..hailie beat it..
my little girl put her dollar in..as I was explaining to her one chance and no fits when she doesn't win..
she nods her head yes as her little hands start moving the claw.."mommy I want the monkey or the giraffe, they are the cutest"..
and then she hits the button and would you believe after I dont know how many times watching her loose and throw a fit..that claw picks up the monkey AND the giraffe and dumps them in the slide thingy..
she takes her animals and jumps up and down and laughs and screams with such happiness...
crazy I tell ya..

aren't they so creepy....I mean cute...

a favorite in our house....
