St. Patrick's Day Do's

I finished this do for tomorrow. Hopefully it won't get too fuzzy tonight- I'll have to prop up Emma so she sleeps sitting up. :)

Also, Here's a pic of the fun little flippy do that we have planned for Maia for those of you with a toddler. :) (We got the green hair at Claire's)

I am posting only the final photo, but there's a simple slide show showing all of the steps. I just didn't want to take up the entire blog with one post. Happy St. Patrick's Day! My kids will be waking up to green milk, green eggs, and green pancakes. What does your family do to celebrate?

Crap, not sure what's going on with the alignment of the video- if you want to see the other side of it, you can watch it on youtube...sorry!

St. Patrick's Day Clover

This is the hairstyle from last year. I'll do step by step photos later on, but I thought this might help for Wednesday. Here are the basics:

1. Split the hair in 4 and rubber band them- you can kind of see the sections- one part right down the middle, and then another from ear to ear. (And looking at the front view, I guess I did a simple headband type thing in the front so it wasn't a split right in the front...)

2. Do pull-throughs with each section- the top two will go toward the front of the head, the back two will go toward the neck.

3. Make hearts with each section. You can see that I kind of intertwined one of the hearts in order to help them stay down a little better. This year, I might do this technique with the rubber bands around each heart so the clover is a little more noticeable. (Not that this hairstyle will not be noticed) :)

4. Connect each heart in the middle. I did the bands down the ponytail in order to make it look like a stem of the clover, but others leave it down and curled, totally up to you.

5. Plan on getting a ton of comments/compliments on this do- like the heart for Valentine's day, it definitely gets attention.
