Fill your head with these cute hair accessories!
I was really bored one day at the office and I decided to play with one of my sticky notes. Pinching it in the middle, I was fascinated because it looks so cute as a ribbon! I started wearing them in the office and some of them thought it was store-bought!
These ribbons remind me that I am never too old to act childish!(I'm 22, but I still act like a 6-year old!) These also remind me of one of the cute accessories Lolitas and Pin Ups wear!

    Let's start by choosing the paper destined to be the ribbon! I want mine to be personalized so I used this yellow colored sticky note.
    I draw some hearts on them with red marker and highlighted some silver hearts using silver pen.
    Fill the rest of the paper with hearts!

This is cute! Perhaps a layer of modge podge will make them a bit more durable?
