'Who Hair' Tutorial for my Ward Party!!!!!!!!



Dr. Seuss ‘Who Hair’ Tutorial

By Chelsea Jenkins

There are many ways to do ‘who hair’, this is just one that’s super easy and gets the effect done. I’ve added example pictures to the bottom that show more ideas. You can add braids with wire in them and shape them however, add curls, and of course ribbons to accessorize your ‘who hair’. Also, men can do ‘who hair’… think curls and gel to get his hair standing up. Really, any wacky hair is ‘who hair’. Have Fun and I can’t wait to see everyone’s styles on Saturday at the ward party!!!!!!!!!

1. These are the supplies you’ll need to do this simple version of ‘who hair’:

Water bottles or cups (I used the small 8oz ones for this but you could use bigger. These are really good for kids who don’t have super long hair yet)

Hair rubber bands

And a comb

2. For this tutorial I chose to do pigtails of sorts, so next I created a part down my head. And tied one half up so it’d be out of my way.


3. Next separate your hair evenly and place a water bottle in the middle of your hair where you want your pigtail to stand up.


4. Pull your hair up towards the top of your water bottle doing your best to cover the bottle as you go. Once all of your hair is up, tie a rubber band around your hair and the ‘drinking part’ of your water bottle. (that’s the only way I can think of describing it right now.)

5. Now, do the same thing to the other half of your hair.


6. Finally, it’s time to accessorize! I added some ribbons bows and when it’s for reals, I would definitely add some curly to the left over hair at the top that hangs.

It’s be fun to do even just one or even three of these ‘cones’ on your head for ‘who hair’. Also adding braids would definitely bump up the cuteness of it. Enjoy a few more example pictures and we’ll see you and your fabulous ‘who hair’ and pajama looks on Saturday! 5:30pm at the ward building!!!!!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

For even more ideas try googling How the Grinch stole Christmas Images

and you should find even more examples!

new headbands

I got a talking to last night from my mom telling me to post and to show the things I make. So, today I made these headbands for my girls. Carma was walking around with these fake flowers and the idea came to me.
I separted these flowers and cut them into smaller petals.



Then I just glued them onto the headband.
I think it turned out pretty cute and Carma just loves hers.
I made Pearl one too and she's already practicing her pageant faces. I'm so proud!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

Great Grandma OG sent the girls a special valentine with a $2 bill inside! Carma was super excited to open her mail, and Pearl thought the money was super tasty. Thanks OG!
We love you!






And look at my big girl practicing using the potty! She just likes to sit and read even if she doesn't go at all.

It's been a while

Carma has been playing 'Princess Fairy' as much as possible these days since she got these wings and jewelry for Christmas. It's been so cute watching her put everything on and take it off and then put it on again!


She was even nice enough to let Pearl borrow some earings for a bit.

Pearl figured out how to put her pacifier in her mouth all by herself. One time I looked down at her and she was sucking on the wrong end! Classic!

After Dusty went to work this morning, the girls woke up and joined me in my bed... it's a perfect way to spend the morning.

And finally this is almost all of the grandkids on my side of the family (we're missing Conway) on Christmas Eve. We always get them matching PJs and they all really enjoy it!

Carma's CRAZY Hair

Carma has been having some crazy hair lately. I've been taking pictures so we could have it documented forever. Someday she'll either laugh or hate me for it, but probably both.
Enjoy...


(I thought we'd try out rag curlers)
This is straight out of her bed

And this is after I brushed through the mess...
We had to wet her hair down and start again before church.

My Day

This morning at 5 am I woke up to finish a cake for this afternoon and here's what I found-


BUMMER!
So I make a new one and start covering the other layers with fondant.
And then here's what happened-
My fondant cracks and starts to slip off the cake. (I know the bottom looks crazy but I already knew it wasn't going to work cuz it started cracking right after i put it on the cake. That's why I didn't even try to make the bottom smooth.)
Anyways, I decide to cut the cake price in half and ditch the fondant all together. I frost and decorate it and here's how it turned out-

Pretty cute!
Then all hell breaks loose-
A little chunk falls off... (the party starts in 10 minutes by the way)
Then a bigger chunk falls off... (no one bumped it or touched it at all!)


Then more big chunks fall off
And this is what it looks like by the end of the day.
I gave then the top tier that was all still one piece and bought them a costco cake and cried myself home. I guess it's true what they say... Shit Happens.

For your viewing pleasure, here are Carma and I in Oregon at the worlds largest sea cave. It was filled with hundreds of sea lions and it was pretty cool to see.


We're not sitting with real sea lions, just in case you were confused.
