The Basics: A Pull Through

***A FABULOUS GIVEAWAY UPDATE ***

So I'm a bit late on this & I owe Jen over at All Things Ribbon, an apology ... but she e-mailed me a while back about a fun giveaway and with all the stupid stress from trying to find a new car everything in my life has been out of wack. So here's the deal :

All Things Ribbon has just launched a fun new blog that is for her bow business, but also has hair tutorials & making bows - can't get much better than that. She is generously giving away a dress and matching bow. We got our Easter dress from her & LOVE it so you don't want to pass this chance up. Back before Easter she gave a dress away too, so you may want to follower her because I think it's in her nature to be generous like this & you don't want to miss out!
So head on over & enter to win the darling bow & dress. Don't forget to tell her Babes in Hairland sent you. I get extra "bloggy love" points in bloggy heaven for that! hehe :)

I've had several people e-mail me recently about how I do "pull-through's." I finally got around to making a quick video to show you. Don't know if it'll help in your process if you struggle with these, but here it is nonetheless. For me, there are things that I just have to practice over & over until I feel like I've got them down & if this is the case for you w/pull through's -- as Mom's everywhere say, "practice makes perfect!" Good luck!


Hope this helps. I usually use a lighter colored rubberband so if it doesn't pull through as nicely as I'd hoped you can't see the rubber band glaring at you. I did a bright one so you could see it when I did the video, but this one came through nicely so you can't even see it I don't think.
