Hello and welcome i-Rock Blog Hoppers.
I have a confession. I love Gymboree. As adorable as the clothing is, I also enjoy the thrill of getting a deal so combine the two and I am sold. The project you are about to see was born out of a love of their hair accessories. My girls love the hair ribbon elastics the best... and of course, I only have one. So I decided to sit down with my Imaginisce goodies and create my own. Now there will be no more arguing over who will get to wear the hair ribbons, at least in theory!
Instructions:
1. Cut 9 lengths of coordinating ribbon is a variety of widths, each one 14 inches long.
2. Remove one of the larger width lengths from the pile and cross-cross the remaining pieces.
3. Sew the ribbons together in the center either by hand or by machine.
4. Attach the elastic: Lay the elastic on the stitched area and thread the reserved ribbon length through the elastic. The ribbon will lay across the center of the ribbons, going up and down this time. Stitch on either side of the elastic making a little pocket over it with the ribbon.
5. Embellish with i-rock flowers and gems as desired.
Here are the finished ribbons:
Imaginisce ribbon cards are perfect for a project like this as there are several coordinating patterns in one package. I used ribbons from the "Enchanted" and "Garden Party" Collections for this project.
This is your last stop on the blog hop today. Thanks so much for participating and be sure to return to the Imaginisce blog and let us know what you think of today's projects. You may even be the lucky winner of an i-rock package of your own. GOOD LUCK and thanks so much for visiting.

Oh how cute! Love your tutorial. My daughter loves the pony holders from gymboree too, but her faves are the organza ones. I'm thinking your tutorial would work for making those too! :-D Thanks for the fab inspiration!
OMG these are adorable, the best thing about it, no other little girl will have them, so they are personalized to your little sweeties. :)

Great idea, those are perfect!
I love that idea! It's too expensive to buy the pre-made ones to match every outfit, so what a great way for the girls to have one that really matches all the time.
I love it when you are able to figure something out and personalize it to your tastes, great project! Soo soo cute, tfs :)
very cute and easy!! love that!!
love it!! so adorable!!
Ok, I love Gymboree too... I have 2 little girls 18 mo apart, and I dress them in matching lines! I have even made layouts to match the outfits they are wearing!!!

Wow Tracey - those are sooo cute. I can see why your girls would fight over them. My girls would have too when they were younger - now they just fight over things like the hair straightener and who had the brush last :) Thanks for the tutorial - I have some nieces that would adore these!
I was a Gymboree mom too, I adored all of the outfits and matchy sweet things. I was so sad when my 11 year old daughter outgrew their sizes and styles:(
Love your project!
Super cute idea!
