I have been making flower barrettes for a squadron fund raiser. The other wives are going to get together and have a craft night, but I know that I need to do a bunch ahead of time, because a project always takes twice as long as you think it should, right? The barrettes will be sold at the "Fall Festival" at the end of September so I have picked out some fallish colors. I usually put Ella in pastel or bright pink flowers so I am wondering if I need more springy colors included, or if I should just stick with fall colors. I really like the fall colors and hesitate to make too many. I am not sure if they will even sale very well. My other question is what would you spend on one of these, or if you would even buy one. I think they are adorable in little girls hair, but I'm not the most "fashionable" individual. Help me out. I would love to hear from anyone with an idea or an opinion. Thanks!!
Don't mind the lack of makeup, pregnancy sheen (sweat) or the massive amount of freckles from neglecting to wear sunscreen. Harmon took the picture for me, I would have taken a picture of Ella but she is asleep so I had to do.
I really like this orange one.
I tried to get Harmon to model for me. I got one picture. He wasn't going for it. I don't blame him. I am glad he is a boy! But his eyes sure do look cute. LOL!
What do you think of the zinnia's? I have them in purple and yellow too. And the sunflower looks a little washed out. It is quite vibrant in person. Last year there were a ton of sunflowers in all the fields around here, but this year they have grain in them. I bought the sunflowers thinking that they would be everywhere again, but now I am wondering if they would be too 1995.
Here's a good smattering of the colors I've got. Because it is a fundraiser and we want to make the most money we can I haven't bought really nice flowers...some of them can cost several dollars a piece. I think I spent $4 on a bush of 8 or 9 flowers. What do you think?And one last question...I like to put a button or a jewel in the center. But I've seen some with the normal flower center. What do you like better?
I think they are beautiful!! I love them with a jewel or a button myself. Are you selling them individually or in a set of two? I sometimes like to have a couple for those cute piggy tails. I would spend 4 or 4.50 on a set of two. That is what I spend on those cute curly Q barrettes for Paige. Good Luck!! hope you raise alot of money.
ReplyDeleteI think you are looking like a hot mama :) I sometimes wear one of the girls flowers in my hair when I wear a bun and I put it right by the bun on the side and it's cute I think. I love the colors you picked. I think they will be great for fall clothes. and...you could throw in some pastels too just to have an assortment. I would say 3-5 dollars depending on the stuff. a big flower with a big jewel center maybe more and a smaller flower a little cheaper. But 3-5 dollars is a good price I think.Ohh and I agree with the matching ones for piggys or in my case twins :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I agree throw in a few pastel.
