I wish these directions didn't confuse me

[Brookepanda]

I'm trying to make one of these....only I'm so lame that I just keep messing it up :shake

I dare you (http://www.scribd.com/doc/3276459/Ribbon-Woven-Headband-Instructions) :giggle

[wyattsmama]

i'm so going to attempt that while wyatt naps instead of cleaning. thanks a lot brooke! if i succeed, somene is willing to take it as i have no little girl to wear it. lol.

[Lorah]

All I had to do was look at the pic and I am all :dunno now.... :lol Sorry....I'm NOT the craft one.....wake Seasyn up:giggle she will know how to do it. ;)

[JeriAnne]

Looks complicated.

[Kellie_MO5]

I think I get it.. but it would be easier to follow if she had taken pics using 4 *very* diff colors.. the grey and black are a little confusing when trying to get what to do from the pics

LOL - I thought of doing the same thing - making one and then giving it away since I don't have a girl...I'm feeling crafty lately.

Wow! Just reading through that was tiresome.

It would be very helpful if the author would just name the ribbons with absolute terms like "1, 2, 3, 4" or just use the colors in her example "white, black, grey, pink" and not relative terms like "upper right". The pictures help.

Good luck!

How did you get the supplies so fast?

[Stacey]

Ahh.. makes me wish I had a little girl so I could make one! Good luck!

[becky]

ooh post a pic nichole when you are done. these look really cool. And if no one has a little girl who will take it i have 3 ;)

[Brookepanda]

awesome Nicole! I'm about to leave in a few for a wedding I have this afternoon to photograph...but when I get home tonight I'll give it another whirl :)

[MARIBEL]

I'm going to have to try that now :D

[wyattsmama]

i've been so crafty this week that all my stuff was already out on the kitchen table. and last week i made a bunch of cute hair clippies for my cousin sop i had lots of leftover ribbon and hot glue gun stuff. i just had to hunt down an old headband and take the ugly covering that was on it off.

well then becky your girls might end up with hair stuff galore from me because i have been really enjoying making them. i had to tell myself to finally stop making my cousin clippies vafter the 16th pair. i took a picture, i'm just waiting for wyatt to let me upload it and post it. he's being a booger.

while it turned out all right, i definitely do not love the colors of the ribbons together, but i have an idea already for the next one i make :)

But don't forget the rest of us with girls :D LOL

I so need to find some $$ and go buy some crafty stuff... (maybe if the entertainment center thing will sell...)

[TaivensMama]

i want a white black and hot pink one!! get on it nicole! if there is one thing i suck at its braiding...but brooke is a whiz at it so it is odd to me she didn't get how to do this "straight away"

[Lorah]

Ahh.. makes me wish I had a little girl so I could make one! Good luck!

You'll know soon if you are going to have one .... :fingerscrossed

[JeriAnne]

Holy heck, it's hard. My fingers hurt already and I only have 4 little triangles on the front done....Oiy.

[TaivensMama]

OK now I wanna try but I have no headbands...for my stringy haired baby hehe

[JeriAnne]

My problem is keeping the diamonds center. They keep drifting to the right...lol.

[becky]

okay we need to plan a headband and clippy making playdate. I wanna see how to make those things.

Nichole that one is really cute. I like the colors too

[JeriAnne]

Here is my attempt. I used black, brown, pink and blue ribbon.

Despite not having any girls, I can wear it because the band is big enough...

[Kellie_MO5]

Wow, that looks GREAT :thumb

I'm totally impressed!

[wyattsmama]

jeri anne, that one is beautiful!! how did you make it have the cute pattern on the back too? mine refused to cooperate in that department.

[Brookepanda]

WOW......Jerianne great job!!!!

[jellybeanmichelle]

Cool!
Now I wish I could wear headbands. Certain ones give me headaches.

[JeriAnne]

I dunno, I just followed the directions. The back actually looks better then the front. I even tried to do it backwards so the design on the front would look better, but it was too hard.

[becky]

That is really cool Jeri Anne. I love the colors

[Brookepanda]

ok I'm glad I posted this...you girls figured it out lickety split!
I'm going to give it another whirl...and see if I can do it this time....
