Hair Bow Bouquet for school auction

[mamabrandy]

I am not completely happy with a couple of the bows. I was up until 2:30 working on a slideshow for my son's 3rd birthday coming up on the 9th. I also started working on the bows, which I intended to do earlier in the evening. It took me a few hours to get the rest of it done this morning. I couldn't find a terra cotta pot like I wanted, so I ended up with a plastic flower pot from Norma (a store here).

Part of me feels like this set up is too cheesy, and cheap looking, but I don't know. I'm usually pretty critical of myself, so hopefully it isn't as bad as I feel it is.

ETA: This is the first time anything I've made has gone up for sale. I've never even made anything for sale for me yet! lol I'm a bit nervous that it will all fall apart and be a waste of whoever's money who wins it. I've never had any problems with anything I've made Brooke though.

I think it looks adorable! What a nice selection of bows you put in there too. Whoever wins it, will definitely be happy! :clap:

They look adorable and nice variety. I like the color combos too! Whoever buys it will be very happy!:)

It doesn't look cheap to me. Great job! I like to add ribbon around the top and bottom portion of the flower pots and then I glue a bow in the middle or somewhere on the side.

Thanks everyone :) Now I'm curious to know how much it sold for and if it sold at all. :)

DH kind of irked me yesterday when I told him I wasn't happy with those two bows. He said who cares, someone is probably getting them for dirt cheap anyways.

1-I'm not about to put a crappy product out there regardless of if I sell for profit or not. I don't want to look bad.

2-What if that person loves the bows and seeks me out to make more to purchase, or other people who were there last night saw them and didn't have the highest bid on them and wants me to make some?

I didn't put my name or anything on there. I really didn't know what to put and it really didn't matter too much to me at that point, but now I"m kind of wishing I had put at least "Bows by Brandy H's - email something@gmail.com" or something. The people who coordinated know who I am and if someone has a question, I'm sure they will ask the coordinators.

MsJ :) I like that idea. I couldn't find a pot until almost the last minute, so I was out of ideas lol :) If I had found a terra cotta pot and had more time, I would have painted it in girly colors, and I think a bow and ribbon wrapped around would have been adorable :)

I think they turned out great! It looks very nice, and I'm sure whoevery bought it will love all those beautiful bows for their little girl cheerl

Very nice, Brandy. I LOVE the bow with the little girl/ballerina? in the center. Hopefully the coordinator will get in touch with you with any inquiries.

p.s. Don't worry about your hubby's comment... that is how they are wired. They have a part of the brain where they get these (I call them "Gee...Thanks?!?) comments. Men.

What a great idea! I like how you did all types of bows. I am gonna try to make something like this for our upcoming craft fair
