If you’re a short waisted gal like me, then boy, do I have the tutorial for you today! While I like the look of all the current high waisted trends on other people, being short waisted, those clothes can look rather ridiculous on me. In fact, most mid rise fit like high rise on me!
Because of this, I struggle to find pants that are the right rise for me right now. I recently bought some pajama pants, though, that were high rise, but that I knew I could alter to fit me how I like them. I created a video tutorial to show you how to do it too!

My teen daughters are into cottage core style hair accessories lately and asked if I could copy a few that we’ve seen. One of those were some pretty, velvet bows we spotted at Target the other day. They were larger hair bows with long tails and so cute! But at $14 a piece, we knew we could DIY them for a fraction of the cost.
Sure enough, after spending just $2.50 for each spool of velvet ribbon and the same for a bag of hair clips, we have the cutest set of velvet hair bows! And I’m going to teach you how, so you can have some too :)

Keep reading for the step by step mason jar pin cushion instructions with all of photos you need to make this simple project.
