The Hello Kitty Bow

Sine I couldn't find a smaller Hello Kitty to make a mold of, I decided to make a mold from my Hello Kitty PEZ.

I painted the head with acrylic paint, since that was the only paint I had laying around the house. After I had painted it, was thinking, how would I stop the paint from coming off the head? Now I doubt that anybody would jump in the pool with the bow in their hair, but if I do make buttons and sew those on sweaters, those would have to get washed eventually.

So I looked around JoAnns and found Acrylic Coating, where the spray paints were. I tried that out and washed the Hello Kitty face. The paint won't come off, and I think the acrylic coating made the face shiny. Now the button making can begin.

The around the world Bows

As I was crocheting the American Hair Clip for the 4th of July, I thought I could make a German Hair Clip to represent my own nationality. Afterwards I thought, why stop there? I know many people around the world, that is how the French Bow came to life, and the Japanese bow. I am looking into making other nationality bows too. The italian, spanish, irish, and dominican republican flag are soon to come.

The Ladybug Hair Clip Set

This Hair Clip Set consists of 2 snap clips and 1 alligator clip.

I crocheted purple and white flowers, and sewed a big Ladybug onto the flowers meant for the alligator clip, and 2 small Ladybugs for the snap clips. I added leafs to the bigger Ladybug flower to cover the alligator clip completely.

Once again I hot glued the clips to the crochet flowers on the back.

The Patriotic Hair Accessories

I crocheted these Hair Clips with the 4th of July in my mind.

The bow has a alligator clip hot glued to it and the flowers have snap clips.

The Head Band is also crocheted in the honor of the 4th of July, and I'm thinking of another version of this Head Band with crochet Stars instead of buttons.

The Skull Hair Band

I was asked to make a Skull Hair Band instead of a Hair Clip that I had made at a previous time.

The Hair Band matches the black hair and will be coordinated with a black bikini, so I have been told.

I used double crochet stitch for this band, sew on buttons for adjustability, and coordinated all the colors to black and white.
