I have tried crocheting bows or making them out of yarn but they’re never quite how I want them to be, so I bought some felt yesterday (sooo cheap), and I followed a tutorial by the moonlit nest!
This one is my favorite so far, because I used fabric to tie it together instead of felt. Fabric = endless possibilities.
As of now, I have only made these grey ones and a red one. While picking out the felt squares, I was feeling wintery and thinking only of what I would wear in my hair. Really, I should have been thinking about funky color combinations and the integration of fabric.
This weekend I am going home for my sister’s 8th birthday. We’re going to Discovery Kingdom tomorrow which is always a mixed-feelings kinda place. Childhood memories. Cute animals. But at the same time, these animals are probably miserable. Anyway, it’s no time to be an activist :)
Also, tonight I’m seeing The Help! Has anyone else seen it? I think it looks amazing.

Love your felt bows! So cute.
Have you read The Help yet? I wanted to read it before I saw the movie but haven’t quite done that yet.
Have a fun weekend!

Very cute! I’ve made bows like that–one for an Alice in Wonderland costume (all black) and one for a Minnie Mouse (red with white felt polka dots) outfits. They are really easy and turn out so cute!

Your bows turned out super sweet! :) I want to see The Help too, but like Stela above, I think I’ll try to read the book first…
