These are the perfect handmade gift for any little girl. The felt rosettes are so soft, and the felt-covered clippies don’t pull on precious little locks of hair. I made quite a few of these for my oldest daughter (when she FINALLY started to grow hair), and she still wears them today (she is 8-yrs old). With all of the felt colors that are available today, you can make them as sophisticated or simple as you want. Felted wool (as opposed to acrylic) is much more readily available today in craft stores, so even making a few for your girly adult friends makes a special hand-crafted gift and they look great with sweaters in the fall/winter.

I absolutely LOVE charm bracelets and the warm “clinky” sound they make when worn. My mother had a charm bracelet when I was little, and every special holiday meant we could give her a new charm as a gift. The sound of her bracelet was always comforting – it meant she was close by. Maybe that “jewelry lullaby” contributed to my bracelet obsession later in life. [Read more…]
