Quick Post for a Hair Pin tutorial from Joybucket. I've been enjoying the blog as well, although there hasn't been a new post since the end of November. But let's face it - who really has time during the holidays?
I made hair pins from the CraftStylish tutorial and I think they came out nice. I didn't do the recommended 14 layers, so mine aren't as floofy, but I think they are just as lovely. One thing you want to remember before you adhere your circles to the pins, is to mind the orientation. The designer has you cutting a little abstract shape for the top circle so it makes a difference where you glue the the circles. I had to re-glue.
A couple of other changes - I just did tack stitches rather than folding the circles in half. Pays to have a thimble. I first threaded a bead, then a seed bead, came back through the two a couple of times and knotted off between the layers of circles.
Also joined CraftStylish - lets see what goes on there. Didn't really stay and play, maybe take some time to do that after the holidays.
Ordered some mini cards from MyMiniCards tonight. Will post a photo when they come in.
Post photos of your minicards please, I'm thinking of ordering some for myself, how did they come out?

I'm loving all of the hair pins. Are any going on etsy? I should probably go look for myself huh?
