triple inside-out frenchbraids

We hope everyone is enjoying the holidays as much as we are. It sure is keeping us busy. & I told you in my last post my camera broke. Well - the next week we went to Disneyland & I couldn't even find it ANYWHERE!! I've been using my mother inlaws for a few days & had to sneak a post while I had a camera.
Starts by sectioning off the front part of the hair & frenchbraiding it.

I skipped the middle part & sectioned the underneath part first.

Then I frenchbraided that the same direction as the top.

Now do the middle section, braiding the opposite direction & adding an elastic to where you want your pony tail to be.

The tricky part is getting these dang pony tails even with each other. Mine are a little off (& they will be lopsided since one has more hair than the other)

I braided each pony tail.

Pulled it up half way & secured with an elastic

Then folded that braid in half again & secured with an elastic. These are our favorite type of buns to do right now since her hair is so long.

add your ribbons & you are done. Which by the way - we hardly wear bows anymore - she's all about ribbons which I'm find with - they stay in her hair better & look just as cute

Last month, my camera broke & I am unable to look thru the screen to see what I'm taking a picture of. I'm glad it still takes pictures!! This is super simple & it would be fun to do on 2 half up piggies also.
Start with 2 basic pig tails

Take a section from one side & braid it & secure to the other piggy with an elastic

Then take another (smaller than the braid) section from the opposite the braid is in

Twist the section so it is easier to wrap over the braid. Begin wrapping evenly until you get to the other side

Secure with an elastic on the opposite pony. Then we finished the ponies with messy buns

We are loving ribbon because we're not losing pairs like with the clips. But when I do messy buns - I do not love the look of wrapping a ribbon around the bun - it can look silly sometimes. So if you tie your bow then slide a bobby pin right in the middle - you then just push the bobby pin into the hair where you want placed.

Here's the front view - by the time I tried taking a couple of the back view - my camera had had it & I think the battery died (can't tell since the screen doesn't work:) Scroll back to the top of this post to see the back again!
