Be Kind for Bodil!

Lydia here!

It’s almost this sweet angel’s birthday! Bodil would be 3 this year! It’s crazy!!! Natalie asked me recently if I’d like to do anything with LeLou’s Angels to celebrate Bodil’s birthday…and all I can think of is a day of kindness.
So, on August 26th, let’s all Be Kind for Bodil! Find someone that just needs a bit of kindness shown to them, and be their angel! Let us know in the comments who you found to help!
We love you all!

Our headbands are made out of different-sized microfiber tights or thin, soft elastic.   We cut the legs of the tights into 2" loops and give them a good stretch so the edges roll.   If you are using elastic, cut the elastic into 4.5", 6.5", or 8.5" strips.  Hot glue the ends of the elastic together.   Embellish the headbands with bows, flowers, jewels, buttons, etc...  Keep in mind that less is more.   Remember that these parents will only be dres...
