Why recycled earrings?
From loving creativity and unique style, the earrings I usually wear were not the cute factor that I wanted anymore. As a result I got the creative juices flowing using my fabric hat and bag scraps and made art! I really enjoy the fine, detailed motor skills I use when making these because it’s soothing, satisfying and just couldn’t keep to myself. Don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE making hats; however, sometimes creative inspiration comes when I don’t expect it and I must act on it!

In conclusion, these handmade earrings are so adorable, they’re happy art that you can wear!

Bound to be…creative!

XO,

It’s summertime ladies and you want to look cute, timeless and ready for pickle ball on Thursday without skipping a beat. Here are some quick tips on how to wear your visor and look cute this summer.

TIP #1 – short hair
Ladies with pixie short hair I recommend wearing your visor while leaving a few bangs visible or under your visor. First, take your glasses off, place the front of the visor on top of your bangs just above your hair line. Next, with a bit of pressure wrap visor around, at a downward slant, to the back. Using pressure keeps your hair from exploding over on the top of your visor. Next, press and close in the back at desired tightness. Throw your glasses back on. BONUS TIP: If your visor is slipping, it’s not tight enough. Keep at a comfortable level.

TIP #2 – medium length hair and bobbed locks
You have a couple of options here. You can wear your visor on top of your bangs, see TIP #1 for instructions, or you can wear your visor under those locks, here’s how. First, with glasses off and visor in hands, flip your hair totally upside down in a forward motion (and you thought those squats weren’t helping). Next, place the visor just above your hair line, wrap to the back of your nape and press close at desired pressure. Next, flip back up and let your hair fall where it may. BONUS TIP: Grab a hair clip and lift the top of your hair creating a messy but cute look

TIP #3 – long hair
You have many options here. You can wear your visor with hair down and flowing overtop the visor (see TIP #2) or you can throw your hair into a bun or ponytail. Going messy is fun, too. With ponytail, bun or hair clip in place, press front of visor to your hair line and wrap around to nape or back hair line. Apply some pressure and downward slant when wrapping to the back. Press and close at desired tightness. BONUS TIP: Pull out a few side hair strands. Messy is okay!

TIP #4 – for the sweaty ladies
Do you sweat? Me too. To get the longest wear outta your visor and keep it clean I recommend wearing a lightweight stretchy headband under your visor. Throw on your stretchy head wrap first and then throw on your cute visor. This creates a little barrier between the sweat and the gross sweat. BONUS TIP: To keep hair completely off your face do this: after getting desired visor fit, pull the visor down to your neck and lift back up to desired place while all your hair is above visor.

Your handmade visor is totally washable in gentle detergent and air drying!

Not gonna lie, the above photo is after a 5 mile run and Wow! …while not a pretty face this combo headband and visor did the trick!
