Tulle Puff Tutorial

Here is my tutorial post from yesterday. I have been trying so hard to keep up on my blog daily but it is hard. I love my blog though and will continue to try my best!!!

I learned how to do the fabric puff flowers from another blog, Little Miss Momma is where I learned!!! Click HERE for that link!

I wanted to put my spin on it, I am sure its been done before but I hadn't seen it!!! I had a request for a Abby Cadaby First Birthday outfit. I thought and thought and thought, "how can I make the hair puff match and resemble Abby Cadaby?"

Ding Ding Ding, puff clips but use the tulle I used from the tutu!!!

OK here is what you need to start with:
Tulle (the colors you want to make the puff with) and you need to cut many (hard for me to say how many, I cut a bunch and if I need more cut more when I run out) circles, about the size of a pop can but a little smaller.
Felt circles, I use a cordinating color. You will need two if you are making a headband or one if you are making a clip.
Hot Glue
Skinny Elastic or Alligator Clips
Scissors
Here is a picture of the Tulle circles I cut (this is just a small amount of circles, probably need triple this many!

Here is a picture of the felt circles. I needed two cause I made pigtail puff clips.


OK Start with a felt circle and one tulle circle. You need to use both hands and crease it in the middle. THE PICTURES WILL HELP MORE, KIND OF HARD TO EXPLAIN!


Then turn in around and put hot glue on the bottom, cone part. Then put the first tulle piece in the middle of the felt circle. From there I just start alternating the tulle circle colors and hot gluing them side by side until the felt circle is full. You will have to hold the tulle on the felt circle for a few seconds till the hot glue dries or it will pull up and not stick.

Once you have all your tulle one it will look like this...!!!!

Sometime I trim up the outside edges if there are any pieces sticking out alot.
If you are making a clip you will need a partially lined alligator clip, if you are making a headband you will need the correct length of skinny elastic (IF YOU NEED THE SIZE MEASUREMENTS LET ME KNOW!)


Glue the alligator clip on or glue the skinny elastic on (make sure that it is not twisted) and then glue another felt circle over the skinny elastic.



And the final products!

Mondays are for updates on me and my family...and to let you know what is coming up for this week so...

My family is great! Last Friday my kids had the day off, Lauren, my oldest, went and stayed with my mom cause she wasn't feeling the best. The other two kiddos went with me to the city. We went to old navy, JoAnns, Chipotle, Burger King, and Target. It was a fun trip and the kids were great! I got some new crafting stuff at JoAnns and can't wait to use it!

The plans for this week, in my life and here on the blog, should be awesome!!!

Tuesday (Today) - Tulle Puff Clip Tutorial

Wednesday - I will be sharing a #2 Pink and Zebra Birthday Outfit I completed!

Thursday - I will be reviewing a bow holder and a ladies new company!!! This should be lots of fun!

Xyngular Review

I want to start by thanking Laci Friend!!! She contacted me to try and review her products! She has been fabulous with getting me all the information I need and keeping in contact the whole time. Here is her contact information so you can get started on this program!:

Laci Friend
Email: lacidfriend@yahoo.com
Website: http://xyngular.com/lacifriend
Facebook link: Click HERE

I am going to start off by giving a little bit of basic information about xyngular. There are 6 products, xyng global fruit juice, xyng, lean shake, accelerate, cheat, and flush. The whole package together is called ignite. This is an 8 day program but you can continue to maintain through 8 weeks or you can do the 8 days again (depending on how much weight you have or want to lose).
Here is what Laci said about the ignite program, "When someone orders the ignite package.......they get 30 days worth of the global blend juice, xyng, and lean shake.....they get 60 days worth of cheat, accelerate and flush. When the package arrives someone can just add those to their current lifestyle or choose to kickstart the program with the 8 day eating plan. So we chose the 8 day eating plan and followed it...you eat 5-6 times a day and do not get hungry...when our 8 days was over, we went back to eating "normal", watched our calories, and finished out those products (that last 30 and 60 days)....then when we ran out, we just ordered xyng and cheat...most people maintain on 1-3 products....depending on what they like. when ordering ignite, it is about $8/day...but you would spend that on 3 meals anyway, or one meal out to eat, so it is really affordable. If someone does not want to commit to the ignite package, they can order any single product or make up their own combonation of products they want to try!"

You can also listen to this and get more information!
This is an amazing recorded call to listen to: 916-233-3990 Pin: 37240#

Here are pictures of Laci and her husband!
The first pic in the collages is the before pic, the second pic is after the 8 days of ignite, and the last pic is after the 8 weeks of maintaining!





Now I would like to share our experience from XYNGULAR! My husband was the one to review the products, I will fill everyone in on why later!
He had small samples of each product (except the juice but that is hard to get a sample of and mail it!) The small samples make it hard to get the full effect but we under stand that is how Laci needs to do it or all her products would be gone and that would be expensive for her to give all her stuff away!!!

My husband really liked the Xyng!! It gave him extra energy and the one part about it that he would like to get the full effect of is helping him sleep. We will probably by this product to see if it will help him sleep better (MUCH healthier than prescription sleeping pills)

The cheat is a very awesome product!!!! It is the first food sprinkle! It is tasteless and effective. It has been clinically proven to reduce weight and eliminate 25% of calories eaten! It is also FDA approved!

The Lean Shake was pretty good!
LEAN is a breakthrough power amino acid and protein
vanilla smoothie formulated to:
• Satisfy appetite
• Reduce food cravings
• Support fat metabolism
• Increase sustained energy
• Use as a meal replacement

The Flush my husband has not used yet. He wanted to wait until he starts the diet, so it doesn't just get wasted. It sounds awesome and we are both excited about doing the ignite program but it will be a little while before we do this.
FLUSH is a gentle organic, highly effective daily colon cleanse
formulated to:
• Decrease bloating to create a flatter stomach*
• Boost fat burning*
• Support weight loss*
• Improve digestion*
• Remove pollutants and toxins*
• Improve absorption of supplements*
• Restore energy*

I totally recommend these products to everyone and I can't wait to do the ignite program with my husband sometime in the near future!

Here is a little more from Laci! " I am looking for people everywhere in the US and abroad that would like to make a substantial secondary income...so easy. someone can start a biz with 20.00$ and a product order. They refer people to their own free website and then when people purchase products, they get a referral check. In a down economy, the weight loss and energy industry has seen substantial increase...and it is so natural...everyone is looking for more energy or a healthy way to lose weight and keep it off...when you have success with the products and feel amazing you will be excited to share how your friends and family can do it too.....people ask us all the time, what are you doing? I have made $2000.00 in just 2 months! the company is only 15 months old and in 36 countries and debt free! It is incredible...has been great for me as a stay at home mom! "

Blog Update

Hi everyone!!! I am going to start trying to do my blog a little different, hoping that it will keep me more organized and help me blog everyday, or at least 5 days a week!, like I want to!
Mondays will be an update on me and my family and what the week will bring...
Tuesdays will be Tutorial Tuesdays
Wednesdays will be projects that I have completed and want to share!
Thursdays will be reviews and/or sharing something from a fellow bloggers blog (that I love and/or want to try)
Friday will be just a random thought, story, or pictures!!!

Saturday and Sunday will be hit and miss. I always get caught up and busy with my family. I hope to blog during the weekend but don't want to promise anything!

OK stay tuned for my review today!!! It is fabulous and many will want to read up and look into this product more!!
