Baby Girl Outfit {Gift}

I guest posted this cute skirt over at DIY Kinda Girl on Wednesday.  I included a tutorial with it, so if you are interested, please go check it out!

My friend is due to have a baby girl in October, so I decided to make some cute little girly accessories/clothing for her.  I have been dying to make girl accessories lately, but don't have any girls to make them for!  I was so excited when she found out she was having a girl!

I decided to make a little outfit.  I had to buy a few things, but had most of what I used in my stash!

Here is what I bought:
2- Fat Quarters (only used one)
Onesie
Tulle
Hair Clips

Here is what I had on hand that I used:
T-shirt (never been worn, but about to be thrifted)
Jeans (almost new)
Ribbon
Flowers
Brads
Thread
Elastic
Felt
Buttons
White Sheet

This onesie was on the clearance rack and says "Born in 2011" on the front.  No problem - these ruffles covered them up handsomely!  I made the ruffles using a 1" strip of t-shirt and 1 1/2" of pink tulle (same as from skirt).  I gathered them together and then pinned and sewed on the onesie.

I made this cute little pom pom embellishment to add some more pizazz to the ruffles!

I pinned the pattern for these booties a while ago, and shared it here.  If you want to go straight to the pattern, click here.  I used some of the fat quarter, t-shirt, a sheet (white inside), and I had some grippy sole stuff (not sure what it's called) that I put on the bottom of the booties.  It was leftover from my dinosaur project here.

I made the flower clips from things I had on hand: flowers, brads, ribbon, and clips.  I like to cover the clips with velvety ribbon so they don't slide down the hair as easily.  My favorite flower is the white one with the blue pearly center.

I will be linking this up here and here.

Hang Your Hat Here {Tutorial}

I saw this really great idea over at the Fiskars site.  It inspired me to make these "hat hangers:"

My husband's hats sit in a pile on the shelf in our closet.  I wanted him to have somewhere that was easier to get to them and an easier spot to put them away.  This worked perfectly and I had all of the supplies on hand - which makes it even better!

If you want to make some, all you will need is:

-Wire Hangers cut into 10" pieces (I made 3 out of 1 hanger)

- Cardboard

-Hot Glue

-Paper and/or other embellishments

 First, bend the hanger into a shape like in the above picture.  I bent the top part first, making a nail hole loop, and then the triangular bend. I folded them assembly-line style to try to get them all the same shape. (Pliers help a lot with this step!)

 Cut some circles out of cardboard.  I used a 7up box.  To make the circles, I traced around the inside of a sippy cup lid.  You just want something for your decoration to sit on.

 Hot glue the circle to the wire hanger here.  The triangle gives it more gluing area.

 Then, embellish!  I decided to make so cute little paper pom poms.

I also added some sparkly black brads to the top.  Before hot gluing, I cut the bottom pieces off with pliers.  I just love walking into my laundry room (that's where they are)!  They look so fun hanging on the wall!
