I am so excited to share this project. I have my old friend (just time, not age:) Anne (AKA Annie P) and my new friend Michelle Fairbrother.
I first saw this idea from Anne. This was her shoebox swap for when we went to Syracuse. Some of you were asking what a shoebox swap is. It's basically preparing the cards for a set number of people. You bring the consumable supplies and also the stamps and ink to make the project and then you rotate around the tables to make the projects. I have never actually done one, but we are going to do it at my next downline meeting and I'm quite excited! If any of you are interested in checking out our team meetings, please feel free to email me and you are welcome!
Anne's card uses the Circles #2 die for the Big Shot. She cut out the fabric, attached together with the glue gun and then scrunched together. I love it! AND to top it off, the circles are all attached on one piece of fabric and make a pin! FUN!!!!
I met Michelle at my friend Missy's last weekend. This fabulous card was her swap...how fun is that? I love what she (and her husband) put together! The colours, the paper flowers and everything just work. I'll do a video on the paper flowers soon!
Today's video is a quick one that just shows how I put the fabric together to scrunch and make a hair clip out of it! I hope you like it! (Sorry for the tardiness of the post today.....I need to have Cole become a better sleeper so I get my work done:)
I hope you have a wonderful night, thanks for stopping by. I have another video and 3D project for you tomorrow:)
Here is the video for you:
Take care,
Heather
What a gorgeous girl!!

You have such an adorable and sweet Daughter to model your hair clip for you, and she doesn't seem to mind at all. Your children always seem to have smiles on thier faces, what a happy family! This is a great idea, and boy, a little girl or any girl for that matter could have a clip to match every outfit that she has and it wouldn't take that long to make them all. You could really make a pretty one and dress it up for Easter and Christmas. Oh, and 4th of July, she simply must have a red, white and blue one. Lol. Very cute and simple project for use with the Big Shot. Good to show at Workshops and Open Houses. Thanks for sharing, Annie, Michelle and Heather. The sun in shining brightly here today also, and we are expecting a fabulous weekend. Have a wonderful day. I do hope that Cole cooperates for you.

Hi
Very cute-and your daughter is a sweetie too. I'm thinking that when you are scrunching the fabric, a little spray starch might help keep that scrunched up look. I used to do a lot of fabric crafts (maybe I'll be able to use some of the fabric abandoned in the basement!) and used spray starch to good effect. Thanks for all your good ideas. You are amazing.
