BORN WITH A BOW IN HER HAIR.

While pregnant with Payton I made many comments about my hopes for her having hair. I had terrible heart burn and I was hoping my pain was hair's sake. I would say to many of my friends "I bet with my hair and Andy's hair, our little girl will have crazy thick hair!" Boy was I right! She was born with thick brown naturally highlighted hair. The most hair I have ever seen on a new born! She had hair like me and Andy, thick thick hair! Now I thought, what do I do with all this hair?

So her first hair style was a Mohawk. Definitely not my idea. I guess the nursery nurses thought it was a great hair do for a newborn with a years worth of hair, but it didn't work for me at all. So I was happy to brush her hair for the first time and fix it with a bow.

So from this day forward she had a bow in her hair.... so as you can imagine we have a huge collection of hair bows. In the 2 years she has been here I bet we have accumulated around 100 bows. No joke!

So now that I know how to fix her hair, now what do I do with all these hair bows?

I was on a mission to organize the hair bows and free up my drawer space. I was introduced to Craftgawker app on iphone by my sister and and I found a way to make a wreath using items I already had.

Fabric, Scissors, and a coat hanger.

(things I am sure you all have laying around the house)

To get started you take the coat hanger and shape it into a circle.

 Then cut or rip your fabric in a 2" x 5" strip.

 Then tie and knot the fabric strip around your hanger, going around the entire hanger.

Its really easy and doesn't take much time to make. Its a great home for all of Payton's hair bows.

"THE HAIR BOW WREATH"

It now hangs in Payton's closet, all the hair bows are neatly arranged and easily seen and near the clothes so when picking out her outfit we can grab a bow too!

I have also made wreath to hang for July and in Payton's room for decoration.

 Now that Payton is two years old, I no longer find myself asking, "What do I do with her hair". I just get in and get the job done. You can set and ponder with a anxious rambunctious two year old. She has had many hair styles in her two years of life, never again will a Mohawk be in the line up!
