Braided Climbers

I was so excited to come back home and do Joelys hair again, being in SLC with only boys doesn't allow for much creativity!

Today we did climbers.
Start with two little piggies at the base of the neck, attach elastics and braid.
Next add two more piggies above the first two, criss cross the braids to add to the piggies on the opposit side. Attach elastics, then brad again.
Then gather the remaining hair and bring to a pony tail at the crown of the head, add braids to the pony tail and add an elastic.
We then took a section of the hair from the ponytail, braided and wrapped it around the ponytail holder,securing it with bobypins to make a bun.
The remaining hair we braided at looped downwards securing it also with bobbypins, and we were done!

Aubreys Princess hair

Aubrey slept over again (her new little sister was born yesterday) So today we made her look like a princess. We did two little piggies at the front of her head, then combined those into two other little piggies (ie. puffy braids). We did the very same thing at the base of her neck. Starting with two little piggies and combined them with two other piggies. (when piggies are at the base of the neck and move up they are called climbers) we then took the four little piggies and combined them with the remaining hair at the crown of her head and added an elastic....now the part that really made her a princess is the bow we made her today, we made a streamer bow (I explained how to make those on an earlier post). we did a braid with the ponytail, wraped it around to make a bun and secured it with her new princess bow, and of course all princess' need glitter gel hairspray to top it all off!

Ring around the ponies

Today we added little ponies all the way around her head, I think it's easiest to do four in the front then two in the very back. Finally I add a little pony on each side by her ear to connect them all together. We then took the remaining hair at the crown of her head, made a large ponytail and twisted the hair fron each little pony to add to the large pony. We secured that with an elastic then made a bun and put our streamer bow in. Streamer bows are SO easy to make, we made this to match this shirt, just find ribbion to match which ever outfit you have (we made some of our ribbon into corker ribbon). Next cut the ribbon to desired length, each of ours is 5-6 inches, Finally you tie the ribbon onto a ponytail holder, only going around about half way. These are the eaiest bows to make and look really cute with buns! PS. She also has on the necklace to match this shirt. :)
