Do you sew or craft while watching watching TV? I do! My latest project was sprucing up an old, plain, silver barrette by wrapping it with embroidery floss and adding a little *fireworks* a-la-mode at the end. It had lots of openings for tucking and winding the floss, so I didn’t even need to use any glue . . . and . . . umm . . . yes, I just made it up as I went along. 
I’ve now given it to my granddaughter (and my one and only piano student!) Ally as a reward for a GREAT lesson, and it turned out to be a perfect match for her school uniforms, too. Now I want to find some more barrettes to decorate! ♥

Very cute!
Thank you! It’s always fun when an *experiment* turns out okay!
Perfect for 4th of July, too!
That’s what Ally said!
Those look beautiful! Thanks for sharing
Why, thank you! It was fun and super-easy to make . . . my kind of project!
