Henrietta;
I made a heart and a diamond scrunchy out of plastic canvis.  I used pre cut shapes and allastic loops.  I stitched the loop to the back as I made the frunt.

Hi Joyce and All,

I just made all of my girls hair assoseries to help in making braids. 
I saw one my neighbor bought at a craft show.  She gave me her sample after she made them for her Grand Daughters. I went to a beading store with the sample and asked for help to find the materials.

The man found me nicer silk cording and glass beads. We tried the process there and I made them and sent them off.  I actually showed my neighbor how to make the job easier.  She was putting beads on the cording at the open end. It takes beads on both pieces of a halved piece of cording. I put it on the folded edge which made it easoier.

This was a very easy project.

I just saw Doggie scrungies.  It is a piece of material hemmed on each end and sewn together like a tie on an apron.  The tube then is threaded over the dog's collar.  Thought it was a cute Idea so will take my favorite brightly colored top with bleach on the front and use the back to make a scrungy for both My daughter's dog and her youngest daughter. I will do the same on a band for Alyssa's hair. lol

I am always looking at what I see at craft shows and thinking about how to do it. I have to say, that I rarely actually do the craft. But this summer is different.

I also knitted little pouches to mail bracelets I made to the girls.  I put a note in each one saying that it is a prayer pouch. It will hold three by five cards. I told them that as I made the pouch I prayed that the study cards or speech notes would be successful study guides for the holder.  See, guys, I am just crazy.
