These braided ribbon barrettes are a blast from the past - and I wanted some for my girls.  But you can't find them everywhere, so I thought it should be easy to make them.  Here are the instructions I found! So cute. 

If you don't want to be up to your ears with ribbons, Lily's Ribbons has them online (and in some small children's boutiques in New England) in every color you could imagine.  They have headbands, ponytail holders and flip flops too.  Ribbons Galore!  Enjoy.
