Flower Trio Headband: Bowtique Emilee

Eeeks!! I am so excited to share my review of the shop, Bowtique Emilee (and great giveaway!) with you today.

If you've spent any time in the sewing -or- boutique world, you know that headbands are the must-have accessory to complete the perfect outfit. Paying for a custom-made headband can get kind of pricey, but..... have you ever made one? They are super simple. Seriously, this was my first "boutique style" headband I've made. And it certainly won't be my last!

When I first heard I was chosen by Bowtique Emilee for a blog review, I thought of what outfit I'd like it to match. Of course, I hadn't sewn the outfit yet, but that's what people do right? They sew entire outfits to match a new headband?! Oh, wait, it's just me.

Lucky for one of you (who will win!) I couldn't decide which headband I'd like to make so Bowtique Emilee was awesome enough to send BOTH and offered to giveaway supplies to make BOTH!!

How will I choose my selections?!?!

I said above, this was my first time making headbands. I never really attempted before because, well, I'd seen the prices per flower at Hobby Lobby and the like and my budget was already being spent over in fabric faster than I could sew...haha So when I went browsing on Bowtique Emilee, my first reaction was "WOW, I love these prices!" And then I may have carted (and paid for) about 50 items before I messaged the owner back about which selections I'd like for the review.

Flower Trio Headband: Bowtique Emilee

Seriously, I think I paid around $19ish for 50 pieces (assortment of flowers, sequin bows and elastic) including shipping. I'm about to place a second order because I realized sometimes I need more than one of the same color.

The quality is great, the selection is immense (seriously carve out at least an hour or two to browse) and shipping is fast!! Your selections will come packaged in a clear plastic bag inside of a pretty pink poly mailer.

Butterfly Sequin Bow: Bowtique Emilee

Here are the details of what I ordered for these two headbands:

This trio of flowers is comprised of (3) 2.5" Shabby Chiffon Flowers ($0.30/ea) and 5/8" Chevron Fold Over Elastic ($0.70/yd) --- Total cost: $1.60 + shipping

You may also want to check out: Felt Circles to make your bow making even easier. (I missed these the first time around!)

This gorgeous sequined butterfly bow ($0,50/bow) stole my heart from the beginning. I love the simplicity of it with the matching skinny elastic (1/8")($0.50/yd) --- Total cost: $1.00 + shipping.

Of course, you only use about half of the yard of elastic per headband which lowers the cost of each headband even more!

Thanks Bowtique Emilee for allowing me to review your shop!! You'll be seeing my name come through your order list again real soon!
