Quickie Gift idea....

So...have you found yourself in a time crunch lately?  Have you forgotten more than once to pick up a little gift for someone's birthdayor kindergarten graduation?I DID!  I totally FORGOT to send a gift with my 10 year old for her friend whose birthday was the last day of school...AND I forgot to get my 5 year old a graduation gift!  AGH!  I have been so busy these last 2 weeks of school it is unreal.  (Thank goodness for summer break!)
SO...in these situations, I try to think of something that I can do so that it is not as apparent that I forgot!
Well, I have a super huge stash of ribbon.  Remember my addiction that I told you of? SO. NOT. LYING.LOL. I dug through my ribbon and found some cute designsthat I could use for the 11 year old's birthday.I made the flip flops that I did a tutorial for last month...and while they were CUTE, I kept thinking I needed something "more".

SO....I did a hair accessory.Now...11 year old girls do not typically wear big poofy bows in their hair, so I needed something less "dramatic"I decided on a ponytail holder with a touch of ribbon for accent.
This pony tail holder is THE EASIEST thing to make and it takes about 5minutes.

Materials:
3/8 inch Bright Green Grosgrain 3/8 inch Jade Grosgrain5/8 inch dark purple grosgrain7/8 inch rainbow PEACE grosgrainwhite pony O ring
This gift was a hit with my daughter, her friend, and ALL the other little girls in the class!I even got a phone call from the Mom telling me how much she loved it! 
~SCORE "ONE" for Mom!!!~
Hope you are having a fantastic weekend...and a fabulous start to Summer!Thanks for visiting today!
