In plaid-mode at the moment, I decided to make a “Buffalo Plaid Ponytail Ear Warmer/Headband.” Cute for my head, secures my ponytail and will definitely keep my ears toasty warm. Plus, the plaid-look is so stylish and fashionable- I see it everywhere.
I hope you all will enjoy making this as much as I did in designing it. I'd love to see your finished projects and share your pictures.
