Duct Tape and DIY doll purse crafts

this pinterest post by Anna @ Doll diaries inspired me to try it for myself!
 Here's what mine turned out like

I made a coordinating headband as well! I added metallic trim in aqua for more a real purse feel/look.

The mini flowers are from MS and are available at most craft stores like Michaels/Joanns.

I added ribbon to the back of the sequins strap BUT I HATE IT- so don't add ribbon to the back!

I used sparkling polkadot tulle from Hobby Lobby and did the headband in a gorgeous green crinkle taffeta fabric! and lined the inside with simple grosgrain.

I added velcro to both side BUT- the hot glue comes right off the tape so- back the tape with a thin piece of fabric that will help bond it- or use a better glue like gorilla glue, super glue etc.

There is a learning curve here and i really think this project is appropriate for girls over 8. It was rough for the 2 six yr olds who got frustrated with tape issues! And of course- the adults projects will always look better but the kids really are proud of what they made! It was super fun and we made 6 purses in about an hour!

Dollie n me headbands and hair flair!

SO, this is what we made and how the headbands and bows turned out!

 We used LOTS of fabric, flowers, rosettes and hot GLUE!
There is a large learning curve when it comes to headband and bow making! Luckily i had enough ready made items on hand! The girls did their very best and had some unique creations!

 SO man cuties and my littlest girl is the POUTY one!

I will later feature some matching headband sets on my stores! LOOK for it!
