Flower Hair Clip Giveaway
I’ve never done a blog giveaway before (I’ve never had a reason to), but I’ve been making so many of these clips in between dissertation edits and starting a new professional blog (more on that later – it’s not ready for public scrutiny yet!), that these things are starting to pile up. They really don’t take very long at all to make, but if you’re not into figuring it out, here’s your chance to have one anyway!
I’m going to give a bunch of these away, one larger clip or 2 smaller clips each to three different commenters. Just comment on this post by midnight Eastern Time, Friday, June 18 and tell me which one(s) you like best, and to what fun summer activity it/they will be worn. If the flowery frufru isn’t your thing, think about a young girl you know who might have fun with one of these. The giveaway is open to anyone, anywhere (that means international commenters, too!), so why not? If more than one winner chooses the same clip design, I’ll just make a duplicate. I have piles of these fabrics and a jar full of buttons. Also, feel free to let me know if there are different color/fabric/button combinations that you’d rather see.
I don’t think I’ll have the time to open up an etsy shop anytime soon, but I am curious to know which ones people like, for hand-made holiday gifts and the like. The ones with two fabrics measure about 8cm wide, and the smaller, single-fabric ones are around 5cm. I may add a bunch more after this weekend, so I’ll verify with the winners which one(s) they prefer, in case they change their minds if the options expand. In the mean time, feel free to comment away!

I like free crafty stuff! Although, I’ll take you up on this give-away only after other blog readers (of the non-sister variety) lay claim to your creations

Ha! Laura, sisters make up half of my readership anyway, so you are totally not disqualified! Which one do you like?

Do I have to pick a favorite because they are all so cute! But I think Petite Fraise is my favorite and I have pretty little strawberry outfits for G that it would look great with. They will be worn by a little soon-to-be one year old toddling around this summer trying different things to keep the hair out of her face! And probably for some summer photo shoots too

Hi Rachel! These are so cute!
I love #4: La Vie en Rose Encore. I saw the cutest little outfit for Norah the other day for 4th of July and this will definitely go perfectly with it!

Super cute clips! You should certainly open up an ETSY shop! These are all darling!! (: Its really hard to pick a favorite the three I see myself wearing would be # 5 – to the strawberry festival! (: and # 7 and # 8 – those would be good daily clips for me, I have a very vintage style. So I could totally see myself running around town in those! (: Very cute!!

My favorite is #3: Deauville… it looks like the perfect day at the beach. You’re always such a creative inspiration – I can’t wait to hear about your new blog!

Super cute, Rachel!
I can’t decide… I like #4: La Vie en Rose Encore and #6: Pinks and Purples. Number 4 looks like it would be perfect for a summer BBQ with friends and family. #6 would be great to wear for every day as I have a lot of pink and purples in my wardrobe.
Can’t wait to hear about the new blog!

I’m reading from Taiwan but maintain a P.O. Box in the states, so mailing wouldn’t be difficult. I love #’s 1 and 3 the most, mainly because of the color combinations. BTW, I’m a new reader. I think I found you while searching for apron patterns.

Hi Rachel,
These are all absolutely adorable. I found you off of Jason Angelini’s Facebook page and think that these are amazing. I love different hair accesories and am always looking for new ones, especially ones that are unique like these. If I had to pick my favorites I would say that I like #1: A Little Bit Country, and #10: Prairie because they are very summery. They also both have blue and green in them which are popular colors in my wardrobe, as well as my University’s colors! My other favorite is #5: Carnival because it’s very fun and bright. I could and would wear these with basically anything and love that you have created something so unique! Great job and keep up the awesome work! :]

I love this idea! I was planning on making some when I had the time, but if you are giving them away……
My favorites are #6 and #10.

I would like Carnival for my grandaughter to
wear – as she moves from baby to toddler she enjoys the FL summer eating ice cream and having fun.
