Twisted Hairstyle

 

 

This is sweet little style, suitable for longish hair that is really easy to do.

Two small hair lackeys

Comb and brush

Hair spray

Max & Iris Hair Clip

 

~do~

Start by prepping the hair. Comb or brush so hair is nice and smooth. I use a detangler spray. The dampness helps with styling too.

Section off two bits on the side and twist together. Twist right down to the ends. Tie a hair tie in to hold. Repeat on the other side.

When you have both sides down, join together with one of the hair ties.

Repeat with another section either side, this time joining with the previous twists.

 

Clip in your Max&Iris hair clip.

*optional* with Zoë's twists, I curled the ends a little to give some more cuteness.

Little Lady Bug is now one of our fabulous stockist of Santa Sacks, which you cna buy personalised or plain......

But my goodness, that is not all!

Isn't this little guy just the cutest. But what is even more cute is the sticker on his front. They are called Sticky Bellies and are used to document the growth over a year. Simply place the sticker on, snap away and you know exactly how old they are in the picture. Then at the end of the year, copile in a collage and voila! You have a gorgeous keepsake you'll treasure for years to come!

And this little dress. Oh. My. Goodness it is so so cute!!! It's available as a custom order. Just adorable!

What a fabulous online store!

Getting Organised

Please excuse the bad quality photos!!

All of the Max and Iris range is made right here in sunny Westen Australia, the current range was mostly made on my living room floor watching season four of The Tudors! (the Duke of Suffolk...swooonnnnnn).

Basically I try and do it assembly line to maximise effecincy.

So first up, I make all the yoyos and kanashi flowers (if they are part of the hair accessory). I usually do this when watching tv, watching the kids play sport ect ect.
I bag these in zip lock bags ready for assembly line. Every component has it's own bag, including the clips, the grippers (the things that go in the clip to help it grip to hair) ect ect.

Then I get the assembly line organised. Each component is arranged, ready for the glue gun as you can see above.

After they are all assembled, they are mounted on card stock and in the case of the headbands, bagged as well.

And because I detest wasting time looking for stuff, all of the individual pieces are then arranged in my work area in boxes.

These are the clips, I popped on an actual clip onto the box, for the headbands (not pictured), I printed out a  picture of each one and glued that to the box for easy refernce.

I think I need to add the codes too though ;) A job for next weekends to do list I think!

So as orders come in, it is a matter of pulling out the boxes and sorting out the orders. Easy Peasy! 

All of the mounting cards come from the lovely people at Say it With Print and the boxes come flat from EB Packaging

Thanks for dropping by!

How do you like to keep your work spaces organised?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Max and Iris, my little blog about my creations.

Through this blog I hope to share with you bits and bobs that I make and hopefully in the near future, I will be selling.

At this stage, I don't have a niche as such, but I love to sew and my creations will be mostly of the sewn variety. However I would like to brach out into other areas involved with sewing such as patterns and fabric.

So thankyou for stopping by, and I hope to see you soon
