If you follow me on twitter, you’d know that last Friday I received a very special package filled with all sorts of DIY goodies from the lovely Carrie from Couture Carrie.
She even included this cute little card. So sweet!
So, I decided to not only thank her, but show my appreciation by making her some accessories.
#1. HEADBAND
How I made it:
* Wrapped fabric around the headband for comfort
* Gathered the striped ribbon to form a ruching style
* Added rubber grip on the interior
#2. NECKLACE
How I made it:
* Used pliers to create the length of the chain. (I decided to leave a few extra metal links)
* Cut strips of ribbon and lace (can be any length desired)
* Knotted them along the metal links (Idea came from Love Maegan)
Thank you so much Carrie, and hope you enjoy the Mel Mades!

You are just so great at this! I try to put together a diy project and I end up with a box of clay and paints I’ll never use again (my latest stint at DIY projects).
