How to deal with uniforms...

Next year Luna's gonna be in uniform. Bright blue polo with the school name and logo in it and khaki bottoms -pants, skirts, skorts, shorts, capris...butt coverings. She gets to wear whatever shoes she wants and Fridays are jeans day with the School T-shirt.




To deal with the sameness, I've decided on hair ribbons. So I'm learning all sorts of how to make bows and ribbon this-and-thats. I found out how to make korker ribbons. They're the boingy spiral things. You're supposed to use dowels, but I had decently thick chopsticks, so that's what I used. All you have to do is spin the grosgrain ribbon on a chopstick to get a long spiral, clip it on both ends with wooden clothespins, hit it with some starch and bake it at 250 for 20 minutes. Let it cool and slide it off the chopstick (or dowel). Boom. Easy as heck. I can do this at night whilst getting my politics fix.


Here's a photo of my first try....


Whaddya think?
