Christmas is in the air! I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get "it all" done! I have had no shortage of inspiration for handmade Christmas gifts! I just wish I had more time to create all the awesome ideas out there. I just find myself adding them all to my 2011 inspiration "To Do" list. In fact, maybe next year my goals for the year will be to make all these crafty projects-- break out of my scrapbooking, card making and reach for my sewing machine more ofton? I think I just heard a moan come from my cricut!! My dusty cricut :) LOL.
Recently, one of my really good friends taught me how to make lapel bows. And, ever since I've been buying seasonal fabric & felt with plenty of hot glue. My finger tips are burned in multiple places but yet I can't stop making flowers! They are fun to make and wear!!
Small Christmas Lapel Bows
The back of the flowers have a pin back. The larger bows also have a clip! Wear them on a blazer lapel, shirt or blouse, hat or purse & even in your hair!
Extra Large Christmas Bows

With this type of fabric, as you wear them the edges fray adding the coolest visual texture! A-DOR-ABLE
The smaller bows look cute with a bauble in the center but I think the Larger bows look good on their own.
Check out my friend Monica's blog...she is the original creator of these bows and is selling a similar style Lapel Bow on her site. She has AMAZING BOWS!! http://mybusybusylife.blogspot.com/ And, she also makes crochet necklaces and bottle cap necklaces (the list goes on and on what this lady can do)! She is a true crafty girl & I admire her style!!
