Lately I have been on a quest to make some cute and trendy things for me and my girls. And this week I have been so inspired by all the girly craft ideas out in blog land… I had such a hard time narrowing it down to my favorite 3 this week. But here they are! You girls have inspired me with your beautiful creative projects!

Look at this trendy Knockoff bib necklace from Cut the Craft …I want one!

Utah County Mom made this darling, gorgeous ruffle dress from scratch! Wow you are talented! And it turned out BEAUTIFUL

(what a CUTE little model!)

And I really LOVE this super classy, chic headband from Steff’s Stuff

Great job ladies! Feel free to grab a Feature button if you would like!

I have seen these beautiful bib necklaces all over and I have been really wanting to try and make one myself. This was a lot easier than I thought… I got the inspiration for this necklace over at Little Miss Momma. For my necklace I decided to use a mixture of pom pom flowers and yoyos, I also used silk and a cute vintage button for embellishment. You could use different flowers and fabrics to design it to your style.

Materials Needed:

• Glue Gun
• Felt
• Fabric of choice, cut into 1-1.5 inch. circles
• Necklace chain (can be found at any craft store)
• button

1. Make your pom pom flowers. You can follow this tutorial on how to make them.

2.Arrange your fabric flowers on your felt, Hot Glue all of your flowers except the top two flowers.

3. Glue your necklace chain to the back of the top two flowers and then Glue the flowers to the felt

4. Once all your flowers are glued to the felt carefully cut them out.

5. Done! Wear it and show it off!

The supplies you need:

1. Sewing machine

3. 7 inch zipper
4. 2 colors of fabric, for the outer and lining of the pouch
5. Heavy interfacing, I use Decor Bond

Cutting Directions;

2- outer fabric,  8″x 2 1/2″

2- outer fabric, 8″x 5″

2- Lining fabric, 8″ x 6″

2- Heavy interfacing, 8″x 6″

2- Light weight interfacing, 8″x 2 1/2″

2- Light weight interfacing, 8″ x 5″

Step 1. Iron all the interfacing onto your fabric pieces.

Step 2. Take 1 outer band and 1 outer piece of fabric and sew them RST 1/4″ from the edge. Do the same for the other 2 pieces. Open it up and press the seams.

Step 2. Line the 3 edges up.  Take 1 of your outer pieces Right side facing up, place your zipper on top, take 1 of your lining pieces and place it right side facing down on the zipper. Sew 1/4″ from the edge with your zipper foot.

Step 3. Next, do the same for the other side of the Zipper. Lining piece Right side facing up, then the zipper facing up and the Outer fabric piece on top, line up all 3 edges… sew 1/4″ from the edge with the zipper foot.

Step 4. Bring the 2 lining pieces over to the same side and bring the 2 outer fabric pieces to the other side. Un-zip the zipper half way so that you are able to turn it once it’s sewn. Pinch the zipper towards the outer fabric pieces. Make sure you line them up neatly, pin in place.

Step 5. Sew all the way around the zipper pouch 1/4″ from the edge. Leaving a 2″ opening at the bottom of the lining for turning.

Step 6. Turn right side out and sew the opening closed, tuck the lining in the zipper pouch and your done! Iron to give it a nice crisp, finished look!
