My love for hair clippies!

I originally saw these nifty little things on Etsy (you know- that glorious place where every woman can lose herself for hours, and have a "favorites" list a mile long- yes, that's the one).  I was in L.O.V.E.  

You see I have a 3 year old who for some reason unknown to me hates to wear hair bows or keep her hair pulled back in a pony tail.  You would think my living room was a battlefield if you witnessed the scene of me trying to do her hair unfolding.  Yikes!

So yes, when I saw these beauties in every color imaginable and decked out in glitter and rhinestones, I knew I had to try them.  One quick motion and voila- you're done. I waited very impatiently for their arrival over the next few days.  But it was worth every second (and penny)!

Clippies, as I like to refer to them, are the perfect accessory for any girl's wardrobe.  They are cute, fashionable, and are very effective at keeping the bangs out of my little one's eyes (which is in absolute must for this Mama here- I can't stand hair in the eyes).  They are also the perfect size to stash in the diaper bag, your purse, or even a coat pocket.  I have even found myself on occasion wearing one (yes ladies, they work to tame our lovely locks too).

However like every other toddler item out there (socks, pacifiers, sippy cups, etc...) they too seem to disappear into the deep, dark, black abyss, never to be found again.  So I knew a stockpile was necessary.  In order to cut down on cost (hello- shipping costs these days?!), with the help of my sisters, I decided to try my hand at making these myself.  Boy am I sure glad I did.  Super easy, and I now have a stockpile of every color imaginable.  

No more hiding those pretty blues over here, thanks to these awesome clippies!  Now I know you are probably thinking I'm insane for writing a blog post this long about a hair accessory.  Perhaps I am, but any Mama out there with little girls should understand! 

They are available to purchase at facebook.com/sorellasbowtique.  And the best news is we've made them affordable for you too (they sell for $1 with only $1 for shipping) -you're welcome.  :]
