DIY Fabric Flower headbands with Jenifer Cowles

Fabric Flower Headbands
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Jenifer Cowles

You know the expression "April Showers bring May flowers," here in Georgia we are have been getting loads of rain - we are even under a flood watch today and tomorrow. So I hope this means when it stops we will be surrounding in beautiful Spring blossoms.

Though I dislike the awful weather, I do love this time of year as many of my customers are preparing for weddings and other special occasions. It is the season for our fabric flowers. Jenifer shares with us today a quick and easy way to incorporate them in your hair. These headbands would be lovely for new baby photos, flower girls, and big birthday bashes. Our fancy blooms use no glue so sewing them on as embellishments is easy peasy.

Here are her easy 1-2-3 instructions:

1. Pick your elastic - it comes in tons of colors now a days
2. Measure your wearers head, cut elastic and tie a know 1" from the ends.
3. Sew on a Curtsey Boutique fabric flower with a few hand stitches.

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder with Andrea Amu

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Andrea Amu

When I came across the burlap bags in my stash of Curtsey Boutique supplies, I knew instantly that they would make wonderfully fancy utensil bags for dressing up our Thanksgiving dinner table!  

The chalkboard tags are the perfect accompaniment for displaying everyone's seating arrangement.  Better yet, these bags were so easy to put together.  I used some faux leaves that I purchased at the local dollar store and started by attaching two leaves to a yellow hand-dyed doily with glue dots.  I also adhered a fabric Curtsey Boutique flower on top of the leaves and then affixed the embellished doily to the burlap bag with a heavier glue dot.  

To finish off each bag, I simply tied on the chalkboard tag with a string of burlap and wrote the name onto the tag with chalk.  Easy and elegant!
