Pitterpatter said...

I really love the tutorial over at MODA! Very cute! Oh, and I am subscribed too!

Heather said...

I love these. Very cute. Just a heads up, I had made some and had them for sale on ebay {may have been the 1st mistake} and the lising was removed due to copyright issues.

Seems a company out there 'owns the rights' to make things like this with the ribbons. I called mine tags, and I think that's what tipped them off. The company's name is Taggies.

I just wanted to share. These really are adorable. Good luck them in your shop. :)

Cami said...

Good work Nicole! So cute! I am still looking for the recipe. I think I have lost mine. I think I shared it with Felicia. I will track it down and send it to you. No worries.
