Despite my own upbringing with limited hair accessories, I like to decorate the hair/heads of my children. I think it’s more because I like the excuse to craft, rather than being particularly attached to accessorizing (unlike an unnamed friend of mine who greets me not with “hello” but with “where is N’s headband?”). The newest craft I’ve wandered into making are the so-named “korker” ribbons popular with toddlers and cheerleaders. I was certain that I would set my house aflame or at least melt ribbon all over my oven, but alas I did not, and I have some finished products to show for my work.
Here are K’s pigtails with ribbons. She likes the way they bounce when she turns her head from side to side.
And N’s ribbon, attached to a headband. I made a couple of others, too, but I’ll spare you the millions of photos. You get the idea.

those are too cute! were they difficult? they look entailed...but maybe not! :)
So so easy! I think I'm going to have a ribbon party sometime and make them with friends. You would be welcome to come! If you don't want the commute, though, just google "korker bow tutorial" and bake away. They're great during that naptime window (I made them while you were appliquéing shirts).
Awesome bows! I want to come to your ribbon party... oh and I really like your new blog layout. Super cute!
