Fashion Find: Stella & Dot Accessories Sale

As you all know, I love fashion and online shopping.  More importantly, I refuse to pay full price for anything (fashion related).  No, that's not being cheap.  It's called being smart and shopping around. Plus, I'm a merchandising major and that there is always a store or site selling products for a regular price and then there are those that sell the same product for a sale price.

However, it's always nice when the company who makes it has a better sale on their own merchandise than another store.  And I've recently become a big fan of Stella & Dot.  They have some amazing accessories that are made out of quality material.  So, I was over there today and here are some of the sale pieces that caught my eye.

What I'm Making Monday: Blinged out Headbands Giveaway

Well, it's Monday again and this is the second edition of my What I'm Making Monday posts.  I'm really starting to like these things. It forces me to get back in the hang of crafting.  I'm loving all the other ideas I see linked up at Baby Makin{g} Machine's blog.  Not to mention, that's how I got my first two Google followers!!  So, exciting.  Feels like I'm finally proving myself as a mommy blogger.

But anyways, back to what I'm making for today's post.  If you're following me on Twitter (@Yummommies) or on Facebook (Young Urban Modern Mommies), then you would know that I had my first public showing of my Etsy Accessory Line, KE Original.  Well, being a mommy of one very spoiled and pampered Princess, I thought it would be a good idea to try my hand at making some cute hair accessories.  And being the bling lover that I am, I decided to make Blinged out Headbands adorned with flowers.

To create these inexpensive works of art all you need is:

A Plastic Headband

Colorful Rhinestones

Flowers

Adhesive Glue

Scissors

Once you have all your supplies gathered you want to:

1. Remove the flowers from the wire stem and use your scissors to cut off the plastic stem part that connected the two.
2. Add a medium sized dot of adhesive to your headband and then attach your flower(s).
3. Start adding your rhinestones along both sides using the same adhesive.  Be sure not to put too big of a dot for the rhinestones so that it doesn't ooze from under the edges.
4. Allow the headband to dry for at least 15 minutes.

Your final product should look very similar to mine pictured below.

Hope you have fun trying your hand at creating one of these. I had so much fun that I did like 15 of them.  And I want to give two of them away to two of my blog readers.  So, you could be the lucky person to win one!! All you have to do to win is Subscribe to my blog.
