Don't forget to enter the giveaway for the shamrock korkers! These adorable korker hair bows are a must have! They are square and rectangle....Who knew?

Shamrock Korkers Tutorial

Here is the list of supplies you will need to make our shamrock korker hair bows:

wooden dowels

clothes pins

ribbon (I love to "kork" 1/4 in. ribbon)

wood burner

glue gun

needle and strong thread (I use DMC Floss)

lined alligator clips

a little bit of time :)

Attach the ribbon to one end of the dowel with the clothespin, tightly wrap the ribbon around the dowel. I am using square dowels and it is very important to get the ribbon as tight as possible. (I love the square Korkers, the turn out so cute. They do take a little extra time)
As soon as your dowels are ready, put them on a baking sheet and place them in your oven for about 25-30 minutes at 250 degrees. Now this works perfectly for me and the korkers stay korked. You need to watch them, however. Nobody likes burned ribbon. :)

Let them cool, and very carefully unwrap them. HINT: If you choose to use round dowels the unwrapping will be much easier.

Now I couldn't take a picture of myself cutting the Korkers with my burning tool, that would have either been extremely dangerous, or I am not that talented....yet. For these particular bows I just eyeballed instead of measuring the ribbon out. For a set of 2, divide the ribbon into 2 piles.

And begin loading your needle. Place the middle of the ribbon length right through the needle. HINT: Load the entire korker on the needle before you pull it through, it will be so much easier to tie off and the Korker will look a lot better.

Here I have finished loading both needles and am ready to tie off. BIG HINT: When you take the thread through the top of the Korker, put the needle under the top ribbon onto the second in the stack. This will ensure you do not pull the thread all the way through and have to begin again. Just added security.

I was going to add the shamrock ribbon to the clips, but I ran out of time. I love the polka dots, and nobody will see them.

The finished product. I love the squares and the rectangles. So fun and different. These just might bring in the Luck O the Irish!

Now for the GREAT part!

I am giving this set away!

Just leave me a comment on this post and it will automatically entire you in! I would like to ship these on Tuesday of next week so you will have them in time for the holiday!

If you would like extra entries of course you could always tell your friends and fellow bloggers by blogging about it yourself! Let me know!

My followers will have a chance to win their own set! Yes I have 2 sets! Good Luck!

UPDATE 1 has been spoken for, but I have 1 left. I know it says out of stock on the website but I have 1 left, when it is no longer available I will take the entire listing off. (If you are a subscriber to the newsletter from allthingsribbon.com. I would like to apologize for the little grammatical error that came with yesterdays announcement. I tried to catch it and cancel but such is the speed and efficiency of my email program, I think several got out before I could fix it. Yes, I do speak English. Sometimes I do not type it so well :) Sorry, I am slightly embarrassed.) This is one of my favorite dresses that we carry! Unfortunately they are no longer available. Just in time for Spring...hmmmmm. Anyway I have 2 left. They are size 2 and absolutely gorgeous! I have marked them down from $45.00 to $29.95. If you are interested please email me . I would love for you to have them! Let me know!

Big Stack hairdo!

First start off with 2 piggies

Pull the ponytail halfway through the elastic

Skwunch with your fingers and add bobby pins when you get the desired messy bun you want




So Cute!



Other Side

And voila! The perfect bun for the perfect hair bow!

Thanks Linds and Maddy Paddy!

Another Good One!

OK not to brag....but I have 2 of these bags. I love them. The quality is unmatched. I am by no means a quilter, but I know a good one when I see one! The quilted bag pattern is available on our website as well as greenfairyquilts.com. (if you just gotta) I really want the white and pink one But the waiting list is much to long for my attention span, and by then she will have something else. So to satisfy my need for these bags..........a giveaway. Head on over here and enter to win a bag, not this one but it is just as darling! Let the green fairy know who sent you (this part is vital!! I call it leverage Big Smile) and we could both win!

Polka Dots and Stripes

As I look out my window and see nothing but snow. Snow, Snow and more snow, then a fence and a highway. I find myself really anxious for spring. I know I am in the wrong spot in the country to even be thinking about spring. I wouldn't mind it coming around just a tad bit sooner this year. :) Why you ask? Because I have fantastic new arrivals...........and they totally work for Spring!
I am so excited about this new addition!

I know it doesn't really shout "Easter Dress" But I totally love it! Don't get me wrong I love the pastels too, and I will carry those as well!

I love the hair bow. It is a perfect match!

Of course it can only get better, it comes in red too!

Show and Tell

My newest creation. The flower stack. It is a combo of both the korker flower (minus the korker) and the small stack. And guess what? I love it. If I could get away with wearing hair bows this might be the one! Imagine how cute on a pair of piggies, or messy buns or on a band on a little toddlers noggin! I love brown and pink together, so cute. I have combined a few other colors. Check them out here http://www.allthingsribbon.com/Catalog/new-flower-stacks.aspx

This one is called Picnic on the 4th.

Let me know what you think. What is your favorite color combo?

Watch for more additions to the flower stacks only at http://www.allthingsribbon.com/

Flower Clips.... The Tutorial!

As promised, my first tutorial.

Here is what you will need to make a darling flower clip. You can use a lighter instead of the wood burner (if you do not have one). Just be really careful....Please.






Remove the back end of the flower, the part that holds it all together.
I used to painstakingly glue each petal stack together so it would stay when I attached it to the clip. But I have a better way:


Take your wood burner or lighter and hold it to the plastic in the middle. This will of course melt it.






Working quickly, use your needle nose pliers or another flat metal surface to flatten out the melted plastic.


These are my little Goosie's fingers. She loves to help! But knows not to touch the "Green thing." EVER. (That is what I call my wood burner) :)


You will now have a flat surface where you can add your lined clip. And it will lay nicely instead of NOT. And by melting the plastic center the flower will not come apart and you do not have to glue each individual layer.



The finished product.







Absolutely adorable in piggies or attached to crochet headband which you can find at...
