Amanda Decontie, 2012 Beaded Hair Ties

My daughter Annabelle doesn't like jewelry. Yes--I know. It's been difficult for me to handle BUT it turns out she will allow me to make her pretty hair ties. She also confided in me one day that it makes her happy when people are impressed they're hand-made. (I should qualify--she likes jewelry on everyone but her. She wears earrings but only under protest). ;) Anyway, I came up with some hair ties that she likes and I enjoy making them for her. They're easy to make and if she loses them…
