9 inch Wall Letter Initial Hair Barrette Holders

Thursday, July 8, 2010

Lately I have been creating several initials for little girls and adding ribbons to the bottoms of the letters for hair barrettes.

This purple toned and white flower initial turned out just beautiful! I used wisteria, light lavendar, and dark purple (violet pansy) for the tones, and then white and light green to show them off.

The mix of the simple daisy and bits of polka dots really make this 9 inch initial K stand out. The light purple sheer ribbon with white polka dots really compliments the entire piece.

At the bottom of each ribbon strand is a 1 1/2 inch wooden disc to help weigh down the ribbon. I painted them wisteria, light lavendar, dark purple, and white to accent the colors in the K.

What is the purpose of a hair barrette holder? To hold all of the adorable hair barrettes and clippies your little girl has such an abundance of! Simply clip the barrettes to the ribbon, and they stay snugly in place, easy to view to choose the perfect barrettes to compliment her outfits.

Remember, every hair barrette holder from Little Elephant Company includes a FREE hair barrette from Sweet Madelynne Designs! This is a $3.99 value, and even includes the basic $9.99 hair barrette holders. Please note that the hair barrette is chosen at random by me.
And don't forget to add a custom painted nail cover (aka drawer knobs) to hang the letter by! Add a simple one for $3.95 or a more detailed one for $6.95...see below picture.

Are you ready to order one for your little princess? These run between $32.95 and $59.95, depending on how detailed you would like it. All of the ones shown in this blog post are the $32.95 designs. Your letter will come with either 3 or 4 ribbons, depending on the letter. Just contact me with your color and design choices, and I will create one for you! Perfect for birthday, Christmas, and just because.

Burberry Inspired Wall Letter

Sunday, May 16, 2010

A mom special ordered this Burberry inspired wall letter for her very good friend who just adores anything Burberry, even adding it to her new daughter's room.

I started with a pale pink letter and outlined it in burnt umber. Then created the light pink daisy inspired with signature Burberry plaid in burnt umber, magenta, and white.

Lastly, I finished the wall letter with a sage green stem and leaf and a light pink ribbon.

Featured in Tot Trends Weekly!!!

Monday, December 15, 2008

Yes, my 9 inch letters have been featured in an online magazine...Tot Trends Weekly, December 14th's issue called "Make it Personal."


This is so exciting!!! By 8 a.m. this morning, I already had a retailer's request for information on carrying my line.

How was I chosen to be featured? I had actually sent information about my quilt clips, but after looking at my website, Tot Trends Weekly wanted the 9 inch letters for the particular issue they were putting together. So they requested a sample of my work, and I created a set of letters particularly for them.

KIKI is created in pale pink with a mod ladybug motif. Colors also used are bubblegum pink, light green, sage green, cream, and burnt umber (dark brown). This design is 10% off in celebration of it being featured this week!

COLE in Playful Puppies

Wednesday, October 22, 2008


When the customer told me the bedding set was called Playful Puppies, I knew the letter set would end up being one of my favorites. My son Noah absolutely loves dogs, so I was thinking of him while painting the designs for Cole.

Both puppies were custom cut to match the exact puppies in the bedding. Although an additional $15 for the pattern, it was well worth it. The puppies are adorable in their red and navy sweaters, and the stitching accents give them a little pop.

The entire set is handpainted, by me. I take great care in handpainting every little detail, many times mulling over the placement of the next detail for several minutes before proceeding.

Every set of letters begins with a sketch and an estiamte. You give me as much or as little detail that you desire, and I take it from there! Be sure to visit my website for more examples of my artwork.
