Vintage Rhinestone Button Hairpins

I bought some vintage buttons on etsy (sorry, but I can’t remember what shop) to use for centers of fancy wool felt flowers.

Seems like I bought a few dozen of them, so I had spares. I have used flat back or non shank buttons to make hair pins for my nieces.

So I cut the shank off these buttons and used E6000 to glue the buttons to the hairpins! Very minimal cost and they are so cute!

I might be linking to some of these parties!

Since I made a dress for Elena for her flower girl gig, I decided to make Miss Audrey an outfit. I had a pattern that I thought was not used, so I sorted through some fabric and had Liz pick out the fabric she liked from my stash.

Once I got the pattern opened, I realized it had been used to make a extra small dress and bloomers instead of the medium or large size that Audrey needed. I had used the pattern to make Elena a flower girl dress when she was six weeks old.

So, I thought, piece of cake, I can just whiz through and add an extra 1/2 inch here and 1/4 inch there. Well, as you can see, it didn’t work out so great! It’s cute but it is huge! So now I am going to add some elastic to the back of the waist to try to snug it up a bit.

I love the little bloomers that go with it! They hit her about knee level and Audrey’s chunky little legs are so cute!

I spent very little on this dress and bloomers…had the fabric in my stash, I bought the polka dot ribbon at Wal-Mart for a few dollars, and that was it! The elastic I used was recycled from an almost new sheet that got destroyed in the washer.

I know one thing…this kiddo is a lot harder to photograph because she is always on the move!! Most pictures were a blur!
