Bottlecap Bow

some smaller bottlecap bows
Price - $4.00

Large Bottlecap Bow (any style, except Korker)
Price - $6.00



My newest design....the Bottlecap Bow! My girlfriend bought a bow like this for my daughter, Haley, and I decided I could make my own. So, I bought a bag of bottlecaps (unused) from a local brewery company here and have experimented with painting them all different colors and with different background scrapbook papers topped with any initial. The top of the bottlecap is painted with a clear glossy coat for a nice shiny finish.
I'm having a lot of fun playing with these right now... so, if you'd like one let me know which style, color of bottlecap if you want it painted (comes gold), and what background (solid/print colors?), and which initial. I'll be happy to send you some idea choices if you have the color idea in mind. Thanks!

woven headband

One of my favorites to make right now is this woven headband. It can be worn alone or with a bow (on an alligator clip) attached to top or side.

(only two colors creates a stripe-effect)
this is a 3-tone woven headband on a wider band
(can also use 2 or 4 colors which creates the diamond shape in middle)
Price - $8

another fun one.... a little loop around a basic bow!

New Beginnings.....

I decided to start a blog to host my creations and share with the world (whom I know has just been waiting for me). I started making hairbows shortly after my daughter was born (who will be a year old next month, *tear*). I love to do anything crafty and this was right up my alley, seeing as how my mother used to always make my hairbows! So after watching many tutorials online and talking with fellow crafters (thanks Katy and Tonya) - I decided ... "I can do this!" So, off I went on purchasing ribbon, clips, headbands, needle and thread, and all other necessary items. So, above, I'll share my creations as they come to life giving them a "name." If you see something you like and would like to have for your daughter, granddaughter, niece, sister, aunt, or whoever you so desire - let me know via email at annhajost@gmail.com. I will be happy to custom design a bow of your choice with colors, patterns, size, and style. If you are not fortunate enough to live in Honolulu, Hawaii - I'm also happy to ship across U.S. for a small fee.... we can discuss later according to purchase. :) So.....happy hair-bow shopping for now!
