Hair Accessories : A DIY Back-to-School Project For My Little One

So, it's back to school again.  And my little one is now on its nursery school (last year I allowed her to attend school as a sit-in/observer student since she was not allowed to enroll on a regular class because of her age).   

I still have plenty of ribbons, fabrics, hair clips, metal headbands and accessories left since I used to sell hair clips and headbands online.   (Since I became preoccupied with all the activities : career, mom and wife duties, blogging, etc, etc.  not to mention my current hobby - gardening/flowers, I decided to take a rest on making hair accessories.)   But although I quit selling these online, I still make an effort to spare a day or two in making a pair or more for my little doll.   So now that she'll be going back to school, I decided to make one a pair for her.

The essentials.   Craft-making will never be good without them. 

DIY Balloon Hat

You want to impress your guests with a very crafty balloon art on your children’s party or you want the children in the party to engage in creating balloon shapes for themselves?  Try the balloon hat.  This is one of the basics and the simplest form of balloon art where you can create a hat with just one balloon.  However, you can add more balloons to make it bigger.

How to do it?  I’ll teach you!

What you will need :

·      Long balloon of different colors

·      Hand held balloon inflator

Balloon Column : Do-It-Yourself

A plain and empty yard can be turned into a great party place once adorned by colorful balloon decorations.  Balloon decorations are usual must-haves in every parties most especially children parties.  Balloon decorations are also considered as inexpensive yet make every party colorful and alive.

So if you’re planning a party, be it for your kids, for the school or your community fair, consider making balloon column.    Today, I will be sharing to you how I did the balloon column I made during our Kaizle’s 1^st birthday party having a Tinkerbell theme.

Widgets : A Blogger's Must-Have

Instagram's been a useful online tool in photo-sharing and a social networking service that allows us to take a photo, apply digital filter and share it to other social networking services such as Facebook or Twitter.

Now that Instagram has over than 9 million active users, might as well have an Instagram feed directly to this blog site.  How did I do this?  Again, I searched for an expert partner in dealing with this task.  I have come up with a widget showing a slideshow presentation of the photos posted in my Instagram account.

"Like" & "Tweet" : Buttons for Blogger

A newbie to blogging, I am determined in making my page to be nice looking, if not perfect.   I have been trying to understand codes that some sites were offering but it seems that those codes were so technical that I could not grasp even on its first how-to steps.
