a few weekends ago was the twins birthday! naturally, i had to make them hair flowers as their gift. it ended up being a bit complicated because i wanted to keep some for myself. i then wondered if it was weird for me to be wanting to keep something that i am making for two year olds. sometimes i still wonder about this, but usually decide that it's not problem in any way.
i guess i didnt take a picture of the ones i actually ended up giving to them, but here are the ones i kept for myself! haha (excuse how creepy this picture is, i am going to blame it on callie because i was using photobooth to show her what i had made. and to help me to decide which ones i definitely needed for myself haha)
i ended up using fabric that is green with a purple paisley print that callie used on her lapboard and the fabric i used on one of my coffee table stools that is a pink and purple leaf print. they were super cute and perfect for little two year olds.
i also loved how i ended up wrapping them! it was hard for me to decide because i dont have any actual wrapping supplies unless you count saved tissue paper, which has worked very well for me thus far. (excuse the awful lighting. i cant wait to move for this reason)
ever since they were born, tori's color has been purple and toni's color pink, so i used purple and pink tissue paper and tied bows around them out of random ribbons i found in a drawer. i punched holes in the coordinating cards (that i happened to find in another drawer) so i could string them onto the ribbon. i think they turned out pretty cute!
hopefully they wont be too terrible during their terrible twos! i dont think they will though. i love them! and that of course makes all the difference...
love.
just for the record, i call my cousin's kids babies until they are...oh....in kindergarten.
ReplyDeletetrynnity is 3 1/2 and still one of the babies. you can call the twins babies AT LEAST for another year.
