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!

Dress it up!


Easy. Comfortable. Simple. These are usually the 3 things my clients want when it comes to their wardrobe.  Not surprisingly, the majority of my clientele are mothers.  If given the choice between more sleep or more style, sleep would win hands down.

So here is my number one tip to looking put-together without putting in a lot of time or effort. Trust me, it's doable... grab a dress!  It's not as crazy as it sounds. I promise.  Really, there is nothing easier than throwing on a dress in the morning.  It can be worn loose fitting or belted. For a night out with friends or picking up the kids from school.  It can be worn with jeans, leggings or tights. Heels, flats or boots.  Add a necklace or scarf and you are good to go!

Easy. Comfortable. Simple. Chic!
