Guest Post: Time Well Spent

Today we are lucky to have the talented Suze from Time Well Spent here to show us how to make a ca-ute headband and hair bow holder.  I’ll keep this short and simple and turn the time over to Suze:


Hello Everyone,


My name is Suze, and I am originally from Haiti. In an interesting turn of events, I found myself living in the Mountain West of the United States. Being in a different environment took a little time for adapting, but I’m loving it here. I have two beautiful children(a 3 years old boy and an 18 months old sassy & bossy girl) who keep me busy most of the time and married to the most amazing men(November 2006). I love making bows, photography, sewing ( just started) and scrapbook
Actually, let me tell you when I started making bows. It all began when our family had a bit of a shock! Our second child was supposed to be another boy, but lo and behold, the doctor pulled out a girl! From that moment I have enjoyed the process of raising a little princess. In anticipation of when she would have a head of hair… (She is getting there)… I started to make hair bows and all things girly. 
Today I am going to show you how to make an easy  hair bows and headband holder using a canvas
                                                                         Materials need

  • Canvas ( size of your choice)
  • Fabric
  • Hot Glue Gun 
  • Ribbons
I use my hot glue gun to cover the canvas with your choice of fabric, you can also use staples. It is brown and pink to match baby girl’s other hair bow holders.
Then measure you ribbons to go across ( don’t forget to burn the end of you ribbons), you can pick how far apart you want them to be from each other. I even add a cute bow on top because I am crazy and want to put a bow on anything. The brown ribbon in the left, I use velcro to keep it together so it can be detachable to put Pony’O and the one in the left I also use velcro and it is for headbands.
And here is the finishing product, really happy about how it turned out and plus I can make even more bows for baby girl!
Let me know if you have any questions. I also will love to see if you make one, so send me a link or pictures.
I also make lot and lot of bows . . . Some will even say I am a bit  addicted. Recently, I have been learning to sew and made a few skirts and ties. Hope you guys will come by Time Well Spent and visit for a bit 🙂
Thank you Krista, hope you a having a fabulous day!!!!!!
XOXO Suze

Happy Crafting Everyone!

Thanks, Suze! Oh, my goodness, adorable!  I love everything about that… the polka dots, the colors, the simplicity.  Awwe.  Love.  Make sure you head over to visit Suze and check out her other great projects!

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
