DIY Hair Rose for Baby (Or You!)

As you all know, my Everleigh absolutely refuses to wear hair bows. I can sometimes con her into letting me put her hair in piggies for a minute, but once she remembers they're in they come right back out. Also, she inherited my hair's magical shape-shifting ability to hold a form, so if I put her hair in piggies and she takes them out on the way to the store, her hair will still be in the basic shape of pigtails--but weirder. It doesn't lay back flat, even if they were only in for like 3 minutes.

ANYWAYS, in the hopes that some day I could convince her that bows are awesome, I took on this DIY project. And you know what? It was pretty easy and fun. You can do it too!

1). Get yourself some wool felt. I chose blue and yellow squares and they were like .50 each.
2). Follow the directions found HERE on the adorable site makeit-loveit.
3). Try to get your daughter to wear it and if all else fails, rock it out yourself!

BANGS!

Okay, so I got really bored with my hair being more or less the same for about 9 years now, and out of the blue last week decided to change it up. I typically wait until I desperately want a change to even think about calling in professional help. This time, I basically just googled how to cut your own bangs, and went for it.

The result? Not terrible, although not really the adorable Zooey Deschanel look I was hoping for either (have I mentioned that I rarely pick realistic people to have hair crushes on? Someone with completely different texture, color, etc. might not be the best role model...). I guess I don't hate it but I also kind of feel like I'm back in 9th grade again.

Anyone else have interesting trying to cut your own hair experiences?
