Little Mermaid Bracelets and Barrettes

When I took the girls to see Disney Princesses on Ice last week, I really wanted to make something special for them to wear - other than their Princess dresses.

During the girls' "Quiet Time", I pulled out some supplies and went to work.  I took a strip of wide elastic and put a few stitches in it to make a bracelet.



 Then I cut out some Ariel fabric in the shape of a flower and glued it onto a piece of blue felt.  Then I glued the whole thing on to the elastic.

Then I made some fabric rosette flowers, glued some buttons in the center, and then glued those all around the elastic as well.

The girls seemed pretty happy with the finished product!

I also made matching barrettes for the girls, using the same rosette technique.

They weren't quite perfect......but the girls loved them -- and that's all that matters!
