Handmade Hairbands: Surround-a-bow flower

This little number joined the stock on the craft stall that my daughter and I run every year at the village fair.  Made from 1 cm wide ribbon, which is the most widely available and cheapest you can get, it is an easy to make no sew bow which could look good on both little girls and big ones as it is not too "princessy".

Paracord video - replacement

The problem with doing kids stuff at midnight on your phone with no help- the previous video was absolutely awful but I put it up because I made a promise.  Oh well time has moved on and this is a much better video.

Paracord Keyring - tutorial

Since my oldest two are now in secondary school they are looking for more "cool" crafts.  One such A and R approved craft is paracord bracelets; so much so that for the last two years I have run workshops on how to make these for our autism outreach group on our annual camp.  This year I was getting a little bored with just bracelets and so had a go at making a keyring with a monkey fist bottom and a standard cobra/solomon top.  Here is the YouTube tut we did to go with it.  Hope you like it!
