How To Make Cute Ribon Hair Bands

Hi everybody, today I'm going to show you how to make cute 4th of July hair bands. {you can also do your favorite colors or team colors.}

Supplies:

Hair band

Ribbon

Scissors

First you cut about 20 pieces of ribbon around 7 or 8 inches long.

 {You can add more if needed.}

Next you tie all the ribbon around the hair band.

I'm not sure if the pictures really explain how to make it very well... if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. If you change the wording of the tags, these can be really cute for birthday parties and other celebrations!

Hope you like it!

Help Save Lives

This month I am trying to raise $2,000 to help save lives and souls. I am going to a Walk for Life fundraiser. Avenues Pregnancy Clinic shares the gospel with women that want to have an abortion; they also give a free ultrasound and pregnancy test to the women. The volunteers at Avenues show the mom their baby’s heart beat and most women choose not to abort their baby! The only money Avenues gets is from donators and from the walk where lots of people gather and raise money. Please sponsor me by visiting my page: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/thesiddallfamily/walk-for-life-2015. Also, if you would like to find out more about Avenues you can go to their website, which is: http://avenuespc.org/go-walk-for-life/!

Thank you!!!
