Curly Hair Bows

My friend Laura had me come over the other day and we made these cute Hair bows. I just had to share how to make them b/c they are really easy but also very fun to make.
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Find ribbon that you like can be any kind, I would use the smaller kind its easier to twist.
3. Get a whole bunch of craft sticks, you can get them anywhere that sells crafts. Get the smaller wooden ones. The bigger they are, the harder it is to get the curl to stay.
4. Get wood close pins
5. Take the ribbon and wrap it around the wood stick, end to end and attach it with clothes pins and of course cut the ribbon.
6. You can make as many as you want. I would do 6 wood sticks for one bow. Put on cookie sheet and bake for 30 mins
7. Take out of Oven and take the ribbon off (otherwise its hard to get off)
8. Let cool
9. You can cut them in half and glue them together or sew them together. You can tie them on a hair elastic.


The ribbon is wrapped around with more spaces


This is just for demonstration purposes (I couldn't find any craft sticks, but a wooden spoon maybe to big) This one is more of a tighter twist

NYC, BOSTON, PHILLY, GETTYSBURG, HERSHEY and Beyond!

This past week we went out east to have our annual Petersen reunion during my Brother's spring break from school. We flew to Boston spent a day there. Then drove down to NYC then drove to Philadelphia. Spent the day in philadelphia then drove to York, PA. From York we went to Gettysburg. The next day we went to Hershey, PA then back to NYC where we stayed for a day then flew out of JFK airport. We saw alot in just one week but it was fun being with family and seeing new things. Thanks to Grant and Aleisha for showing us everything and for letting us stay with you!!
