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.

Fairy Fun Halloween Layout with Lisa Spiegel

Lisa Spiegel


Lisa shares a spectacular Halloween layout today that is nto the least bit spooky. She hid the journaling about her daughter's fairy costume on the tag she tucked in the first spiderweb embossed envelope.

She really loved how these envelopes fit wallet sized photos perfectly as little photo mats and that they were super easy to tuck the journaling inside!


Also did you notice our new product sneak peek? 

Aren't these fabric numbers fun - fabric on one side for texture and beautiful color, cardstock on the other for ease of use. Keep an eye out for them to be making an appearance in the shop soon.

DIY Idea Book Tutorial with Jenifer Cowles


Project Idea Book
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Jenifer Cowles
1. On top of the 5” doily place 6 hexagon shapes down in the shape of a flower, leaving the center open.  

2. In the center adhere the beautiful flower. 

3.  If desired cut down the chalkboard tag to the desired size and label the book.  

4. Around all of the hexagon edges and the edge of the book take a fine point pen and create stitching lines.  

5. Take 10 sheets of plain copy paper and fold them in half and sew them to the cover down the center.  


Now you have a fun little book to jot down notes, sketches and ideas that will fit in your purse or just sit on your desk.
