Headband - From Re-purposed TShirt

Little Miss Momma challenged her readers to wear a headband for a week. I usually do not wear headbands because they do not stay put my hair. However, I decided I would do this. I made a new one that is braided using 5 strips of soft, stretchy material from an old shirt of mine using this tutorial. (Great job Make It and Love It). I love this headband! It is super comfy and it stays in! I think I may need to make a few more in different colors.

I did wear a few other headbands during the week, but this was my fave.

I will be linking this post to Little Miss Momma and Fix It Up Fridays @ Blessings Overflowing.

Hang It on the Wall

To help me get through some of these crazy hot days with 3 children, I have been looking for little projects to do. We have been spending a lot of time in our basement. We have a bounce house to help get out some of that extra energy when we can not really go out to play. The challenge this week (from Made it on Monday) is to hang it on the wall. I have thought about hanging a real chalkboard in the basement for the kids to use. I did not know how I wanted to hang it as I did not not want to drill holes into the concrete (basement is unfinished). I also did not want to hang it from the ceiling. I remembered that I had chalkboard paint left over so I 'hung' a chalkboard by painting on the concrete wall. If/When we finish the basement, we can just cover it with a wall.
