Super Easy Bunny Ears

Pipe cleaner bunny ears. Super easy & pretty cute.
All you need to make one set of bunny ears, are 6 pipe cleaners. 

First, take two pipe cleaners and measure around your child's head, then attached them together creating a small crown.  Then take two more pipe cleaners and twist them together to create the shape of an ear. Then twist one end around the crown to secure it on. Do the same thing with the last two pipe cleaners.

You can always make the bunny ears smaller by using one pipe cleaner instead of two.





You can leave them just like that, or if you want to reinforce the headband, you can wrap it with strips of fabric (pictured below). 



 Total time to make = 5mins. Amount of time my girls wore them = 5mins. I call that a successful craft!

Easy Fabric Headbands

I am back with yet another super easy, inexpensive, mess free craft! Yay!
For those of you who don't know yet, I am a lover of DIY that takes minimal time and effort. You know, the kinds of simple projects for the laziest and most inept of crafters - ME.
So, if you have 10 mins, some scraps of fabric, a few buttons, needle & thread and are able to do a braid, then this craft is for you!

Cut an old t-shirt or scraps of fabric into 3 even strips. Make sure that it will be long enough to be tied around your head. 
Then simply start braiding the pieces.
Leave room at the either end of the headband, and either with a sewing machine or by hand, sew the ends together so it won't unravel.  

Then sew on any buttons, or flowers or other scraps of fabric to the the braid.
And there you have it! 

The true test; the girls love them and I was able to get them done while they sat and had their afternoon snack!
