My oldest Grandchild recently turned 5 years old. She has very long hair and has numerous Barrettes. So her Mommy asked me if I could make her a holder to contain all her barrettes. When her Mommy was little I had one for her. I couldn't find one any where so I decided to make one for her. I did some trial and error and finally came up with this one. What do you think? I took a piece of muslin and drew a doll face on it. I colored in the lips and eyes with markers. Then I put two pieces together and stuffed with fiberfill. Then to make the hair I searched for a good "blond" color of yarn. I used one entire skein, split it in half , stitched it on a piece of muslin to give it a part and then braided the yarn. I clipped on a couple of new barrettes and tied some ribbons for bows. I gave it to her at Christmas. I got a call from my daughter the following day to tell me they completely filled both braids with her collection of barrettes!!! I guess she was right. She was in need of something to contain her barrettes. Enjoy!!!
