$7.50- $9.00 for a hair bow that is :
A. going to get lost
B. going to get disgusting after a few wears in the hairspray.
So off to the craft store I went bought me some ribbon and I made my own. I succeeded at that so well that I decided when my Mom-in-law was paying 20 bucks for a very adorable beaded watch band, that too was WAY too much money.
Once again to the craft store for some beads and such. Wow that was easy I thought to myself. Then I thought HOLY CRAP A MOLY, these ladies are gettin' ripped off! So then the angel on my shoulder (we will call her mom-in-law) said, "you could make those and sell them" AH HA! Yes I could.
So now we are in business together. The lil' store in Grantsville (Solbergs grocery store) has a small gift shop and they agreed to buy my bows and our watches and sell them. YAY for US! I am so excited. We are going to do a boutique and call it Beads and Bows Boutique in October...
Wow I am so excited about this. Needless to say it has takin up alot of my blog time.

Love them! So fun! Now I have some questions for you... Can you interchange your watch faces with different beads? Just wonderin'. And how much are you selling them for?
Yes you can. $14 for the band and $10 for the faces. I have made them for my girls too. It is so addicting. I am actually making mommy and me sets. My girls love to match with me so I am sure there are other little girls that like to also. Glad you like them.
AWESOME! Great work on those bracelets! :)
