Mountaineer Girl Boutique
Mountaineer Girl Boutique

Handmade hair bows and tutus perfect for every little princess.

Crafty Tip
Very cute and cheap gift ideas. I did this for my mom as her mother's day present, and she loved it. * Take a white canvas and paint it whatever color you want. I painted mine an ivory color. Then used a stencil to add flowers and design to the background. I used a pink color for the flowers. Then just arrange pictures and glue them on the canvas. For an extra little touch, I sometimes add scrapbooking embellishments just to tie the whole theme together. They turn out very cute!
