So, I have officially begun my first project! Making headbands. I went out and bought a bunch of ribbon, elastic and fake flowers. I wanted to start out with a small and relatively inexpensive project, since I have absolutely no idea what I am doing! Walking into the craft section of our local Wal-Mart was like taking a trip to Mars, I went in not even knowing what it was I wanted to do...I started out in the scrap-booking aisle, took a detour through paints, and flipped through "Cake Decorating for Dummies." And after FINALLY finding the elastic, left with two bags full of headband heaven.. let's just say that my husband, who was "carting" along behind me the entire time, is a very patient man.

This black polka dot band with a pink flower was the first of two that I have made so far. It was a bit small so I had to add more, but it turned out great

The striped band with the blue flower was the second I made. Since the first turned out to be too small I made it bigger, it ended up being a little loose so I'm going to try to rework it a little. Once I have the measurements right the project itself will be fairly easy I think.
