How To Make A Triple Headband – Tutorial
|
You will need:
 Snip off the ends of the toothpicks, this is how we will keep the headbands apart so they don’t touch.
 Hot glue a little piece of toothpick between each headband at the end.
 You can vary the angle of the headbands depending on how thick the toothpicks are and how they sit.
 Now wrap the ends in embroidery thread and glue it in place.
  See now the tops sit apart:
   And it looks adorable on!
  Hope you enjoyed the tutorial, let me know if you give it a try!

Lottie Is Growing Up! Pomeranian Puppy Snapshots
Today’s snapshots is dedicated to Miss Lottie because she’s growing up so much!!
|
She’s getting so fluffy. Her butt is riduclously furry 😀
She’s grown out of a lot of her puppy phase and now she’s much lazier.
She likes to lay in the sun even on hot days. She’s not great at self preservation.
“Ugh it’s so sunny, I guess I could lay in the other 99% of the house… nah.”
While she’s lazy, she does love jumping. We set her up hurdles to jump in the hallway and she thinks it’s the best thing ever.
She loved sniffing our garden but she got very concerned about the bugs that decided to live in them too.
And she still tries to steal my seat every single time I get up. “What GirlHuman? I’m writing your posts for you…. treats?”
She was intesely into this empty peanut butter jar 😀
Bonus pic: She also enjoyed wearing the lid of the peanut butter as a hat. Or maybe that was just me. Either way >_>

Make Your Own Needle Felt Hat
|
I used the easiest technique: needle felting.
 Basically I made a big circle and stabbed at it until it was fairly sturdy, then I built upwards to eventually close in the top with more felt.
 It took a lot of needling, more than I’ve done for any project but for something like a hat you really want the felt to be tight and secure.
  Looking slightly more hat-ish at this point.
   Once the main hat shape was done I started to shape a small brim.
 To force the shape more I needled directly on the brim line.
  Lastly I added a little white band that ended in a bow out of some more wool roving which was twisted together.
  Taadaa cute!
I love the colour and shape of how it turned out. I’m thinking of doing some more traditionally 1920’s styles next to let our my inner Phryne!
 One of these days I’m going to bob my hair, find a companion and solve some kind of murder mystery!
