We all know that flower head bands are in. I mean why wouldn't they be? They are a freaking dorable. They are also extremely easy to make. Last year I came across this DIY on a simple way to create one.
Then this summer we got our kitten, Beemo, and once I found out she was a girl I flipped. Mainly because I knew that I was going to go crazy girlie on this cat. I thought, "why don't I turn this flower headband thing into a collar," so I did and well now you have this DIY.

Honestly, I pretty much copied the directions from Charlavail's blog. The only change that I made was instead of sewing the ends together, I just glued them.

Supplies Needed:

1. Scissors
2. Hot glue gun
3. Any bouquet of flowers (see Charlavail's blog)
4. 3/8" elastic (black or white) (see Charlavail's blog)

Directions:
1. You're going to want to wrap the elastic around your pets neck, make sure its not to tight. Then cut to the precise measurement.



 2. Once you have the measurement for the elastic band, gather your flowers and make sure that there is not a backing to them. See how in the picture below there is a little bit of plastic sticking out?



3. You are going to want to cut off any plastic pieces or stems but make sure that the petals are still intact to the flower.
4. Once you have your flowers ready to go, you are then going to grab your hot glue gun and glue the flowers to the piece of elastic in whatever pattern you choose. *Tip: It's wise to glue the flowers close together, that way when its wrapped around your pets neck you cannot see the elastic band.

5. Once you have your flowers in the layout that you want, glue one side of the elastic band to the other side.
6. Now your little collar is complete.

Heeeeey guess what I have: my very first DIY! Valentines day is this week and maybe some of you are looking to getting creative this year because you're tired of the normal cards. Well I have your solution. I was looking through pinterest and came across these little felt hearts and then boom. I knew I had to make them for everyone that I love. I was a bit scared because I have never sewn anything before...in my life. I think it turned out pretty great for my first time. This is the diy that I had followed but I added my own flare to them. In the original felt hearts she does not have a tiny heart in the middle of them, in order to sew that little heart in the middle all you have to do is cut a smaller heart out of a different color felt and then sew it onto the larger heart before you follow her directions. They are really easy to create and take about 30 minutes to make one of them. Also they're a bit small so you can only fit skittles or m&ms into them. I think it would be cool if you stuck a little cute note inside of them also. So just get out there and get creative with them. Oh and maybe you can make them while you are listening to my valentines playlist ;)
Are you going to hand out valentines to your loved ones this year?
