#91- Lisa and #99 Amber. Hey girls neither of you left contact info so I left comments on your blogs!!! Hopefully you get them. I need to hear from you with-in 48 hours or I will draw new winners! Thanks again and don't forget, there will be one more part to my summer giveaway and it WILL be hair-related. Not sure how soon it will be....but soon:)
Here is another idea for those of you feeling patriotic! This was pretty quick and it was cute....not my favorite in the whole world or anything but she really liked the stars! I have several other fourth of July styles, so sorry if you get sick of seeing them!
I'm sure many of you have seen these sock buns before, but for those of you who haven't I will explain how I did it. All you do is cut the tip of a sock off and roll it up like in the picture. Roll it up until you can't roll it anymore.
I did her hair is some high piggy tails and slipped the hole of the sock around each one.
Next, take the hair from the piggy tail and wrap it around the sock so it covers it.
To get it to stay I carefully slid a stretchy hair thing over it.
I sectioned off a piece of hair and clipped it out of the way. This piece will be needed to wrap around the base of the bun.
I used this plastic craft needle to thread some thin blue ribbon through.
I slid it under the elastic and tied a knot so the ribbon would not slip off.
Then I used the needle to start sewing a star.
Each time I crossed the ribbon over the bun I only sewed it underneath the elastic.
Once my star was formed I tied the ribbon in another knot around the elastic.
Using the sectioned off piece from earlier I twisted it and then wrapped it around the base of the bun bobby pinning it into place. Repeat on the other side. If you wanted you could always just do 1 bun to cut down on time.Top View

Those are adorable! I've never seen the sock buns before, but what a great idea - I'll have to try that out on my niece!
Stopping over from SITS! And I LOVE your hair-dos! They're sooo cute!! The only problem I have is that I have 3 boys! LOL! But I'm going to have to steal my best friend's daughter and try the star out on her!! :)
hey thanks for coming by!! i'm ready to put miracle grow on my daughters head, her hair is taking forever to grow! granted, she is only 6 months =) love the dos!
you are so talented! these are all amazing.
She is adorable and I can't even imagine my daughter sitting still for any of this. My girl just donated her super long hair to locks of love two days ago so I guess it's a moot point now anyway. Glad to have found your blog through SITS.
I soooo need to grow my daughter's hair super fast now. This is so beautiful...very very chic I must add!
