Remember these.... little American Girl Doll stockings that I made for Prissy? Well.. yesterday she decided they needed a little something in them!
*****
First we made something for Lizzie.... a little Julie inspired headband {she's an AGD from the '60s & with that came questions}. What is a flower child? Were they bad? What makes you a hippie? I died laughing @ my little one desperate to understand the PG version of "free spirits" & "give peace a chance"......
*****
We just cut a piece of lace {about 6 inches} then added it to a piece of elastic to make it fit easily around her head. Next we did a pattern with some beads to give it some color.
*****
It turned out super sweet- & we did a little home school history lesson to!! Which reminds me- the American Girl Doll book collection is fabulous! If you have little girls you should look into them....
*****
Next we made a little soft pink tutu for Lucy. It was my favorite of the projects. The perfect little skirt for my grand-daughter-doll! I know she'll love it :) or at least her mother will tell me she does- ha ha!
*****
This was also the easiest! We just took a piece of scrap trim & secured it together with a few stitches-
*****
TA DA! The perfect little stocking stuffer AGD style!
*****
Finally we made this little flower pin for Lanie. Prissy says she "loves blue & flowers" so this seemed like the obvious choice for her. They really are the perfect little accessory- for her hair, her purse, or anything!
*****
First get some satin scraps & cut them into 2 or 3 sizes then round off the edges.
*****
Then burn the edges {I did this part} with a candle until they look ruffled.
*****
Next stack them on top of each other- we decided 2 was enough for this little one.
*****
Then secure them together with some beads. Add a felt leave or 2 {optional} & pin on the back- PERFECT!!
*****
Finally we she wrapped them up pretty! I made some little gift bags out of wax paper {inspired by the folks @ Anthro}. Prissy finished them off with American Girl stickers from Michael's. **Michael's has ALL of the American Girl craft stuff 40% off this week**

Prissy was an angel in the SCCS program this year. She {in my biased opinion} was perfect in every way!!! I had NO words.... just tears & lots of clapping!!!!!!!!!!!
