Below is my project as part of the blog hop and to encourage you to enter the challenge. For my project, I went back to basics - no fancy machines or equipement- just paper, stamps, glitter and glue
I created a pocket ( Its called a diaper fold - details are at the very bottom of the blog if you would like to see how its made.) I printed the bestie image twice, coloured her using water colour pencils, and cut her out. Using 4ply wool I cut short lengths and stuck them down, starting at the split in her hairline, some were placed going to left and some to the rightside of her head, I then gathered the ends together to make pigtails for her. Using some foam pads attached the bows. Using the 2nd image. It was coloured and cut in two along the neck to seperate the head from the body. ( that sounds a little gruesome!!!!)
Foam pads were placed under the length of the body and a double layer at the head - this hide the where the 'hair' was glued down and popped out slightly above the neck. The photo below I hope explains it visually
Into the pocket I placed some samples of hair care products ( Shampoo and Conditioner) matched a strip of card around each to tie it all together. To finish it all off - I made the flower by printing, stamping and glittering.

For those of you who'd like to see how the diaper fold card was made, I've attached some photos I started with a piece of double sided card that was 8x8. I folded it in half to make a triangle - with the point at the top fold the right side point toward the left.
Fold the left point towards the right side
Finally fold the the 'top point' towards the base - and voila - a very simple pocket to fill and have fun with
