Idea for the Day

Yesterday, I went to the movies with my husband, brother and sister in law. We saw Thor in 3-D. Definitely a fun movie to watch, though not a great classic by any means. My hair was bugging me, and I needed something to hold it back out of my face, but I couldn't find any hair bands, so I made one. I found some nice silvery yarn that I got as a sample, (from Yarn of the Month Club, www.yarnofthemonth.com) twisted it and added some big-hole beads (from Fire Mountain Gems). The result was just what I needed. I like the fact that it is is very gentle, and has the advantage that it stays on and doesn't slip off of your head. Normally, hairbands hurt my head after a while, but this one is very comfortable.

It was simple and quick to make, so now I want to find different sorts of novelty yarns and play with some designs. I think that along with hairbands, maybe some novelty jewelry (like necklaces and bracelets) would be fun too.

I'm off to Google to search for supplies!
