DIY - Flower Headband

Materials:
Fabric or ribbon covered headband
Needle and Thread
Scissors
Fabric (I used chiffon)
Tulle
Ribbon (I used organza and satin ribbon)
Beads
Optional –clear filament thread for sewing beads

Ruffle Ribbon Flowers
1. Cut out your ribbon- I measured out 8” of organza and satin and 16” of organza.
2. Double thread your needle and knot. For your SatinRuffle Flower, sew a running stitch up the middle of your satin ribbon (don’t forget to anchor the end by sewing a few stitches over each other at the starting end). When you get to the end of your ribbon gently pull on your stiches to get a ruffle. Do not cut your thread yet.
3. Sew one cut edge to the other; anchor your stitches, knot and cut off your thread.
4. Organza Ruffle Flowers- You will sew a running stitch up one edge of your organza ribbon (don’t forget to anchor one end of your stitches). When you reach the end of your ribbon, gently pull on your stitches to ruffle the edge; sew the cut edges together, anchor your stitches, knot and cut.

Part 2- Fabric Ruffle Flowers
1. Cut out two strips of fabric; you can play around with the lengths and widths to get different sized flowers. As you can see, you don’t have to be too concerned with cutting straight edges or uniform sizes.
2. Fold your fabric in half the long-way and sew a running stitch up the cut edges of fabric.
3. When you reach the end of your fabric gently pull on your stitches to ruffle the fabric. Sew the edges of your fabric together. Knot and cut off your thread. Repeat on second piece of fabric

Tulle Pouf
1. Cut out two rectangles of tulle; once again you don’ t need to be precise and you can experiment with different sizes.
2. Anchor your thread and sew a running stitch down one short edge of the rectangle, continue your running stitch down one long edge of the tulle and continue sewing a running stitch down the second short edge. Gently pull your stitches to form your pouf. Anchor your stitches, knot and cut your thread. Repeat on second rectangle. Sew both poufs together through the middle.
3. Now it’s time to assemble on your headband! Sew your ruffle flowers to your headband by sewing the back of your flowers to your headband. You can assemble your flowers in any way you’d like but make sure your pouf is sewn to your headband with an appropriate angle; you don’t want it sticking straight out of your head! Note: Prior to assembly you can add any beading or other embellishments that you’d like!

Ingredients
For the filling.
- 2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour.
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
- 1 teaspoon salt.
- 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces.
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water.
- 1/2 cup heavy cream.
- 1 table spoon confectioner’s sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche.
- 2 mangoes, peeled and halved.
- 12 small fresh mint leaves.
Directions
1. Make the pate brisee: Pulse flour, sugar, and salt into food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, slowly add ice water, and process until dough comes together. Divide dough in half, and shape each into disk. Wrap each in plastic and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each disk of dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 12 circles using a 4-inch round cutter. Fit each circle into 2 1/2 inch tartlet pan. Trim overhang. Refrigerate shells for at least 30 minutes.
3. Place tartlet shells on a baking sheet, and line each with a small square of parchment. Fill pie with weights or dried beans, and bake 10-15 minutes more. Let tarts cool on sheet on wire rack.
4. Make filling: Whisk cream, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in cream fraiche. Fit a pastry bag with 3/8 inch tip, and spoon filling into bag. Pipe in tartlet shells filling each halfway.
5. Cut mango crosswire into 1/8 inch thick slices. Roll 1 slice, and press into center of tartlet. Using 3 to 4 more wrap each slice around to create rose shape. Garnish with mint leaves before serving.

Amazing DIY wedding clothes-pin. Is that not SO adorable! Even though I’m not married, and not getting married anytime soon, I really want to make one. Precious!

Materials:
1) Different fabrics (Tulle, organza…whatever you like!)
2) Scissors
3) Needle and thread
4) Belt

Steps:
1) Cut your fabrics into long strips about a foot long.
2) Roll or bunch the fabric width-wise.
3) Begin to roll the fabric around your finger, holding the end down in the center. We twisted the fabric as we went around to create a twisted rosette. There’s no wrong way to do this. It can be loose or tight depending on the look you’re going for.
4) Continue to twist and shape your rosette.
5) After a few rotations grab your needle and thread and begin sewing your shape into place with a few stitches here and there.
6) Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you run out of fabric or have reach the desired size for your rosette
7) Your rosette is finished. At this point you can sew it onto your belt or you can make a cute bed of ‘leaves’ for it to lay on by pleating a round piece of tulle and sewing it like you see in the picture.
9) Sew the rosette onto the leaves
10) You’re done!
