Every year, my husband's family has a tradition to do a "tea party" with all the aunts, moms, daughter, granddaughters. They do a theme & this year it was cowgirls - to celebrate grandpa who was a rancher out on the Arizona strip.
You can't go to the cowgirl tea party unless you are dressed in your best apparel. Adde & her cousins got cute little red cowboy hats to wear too - so I thought it would be cute to have little curly piggies hanging out - but I can't just do pig tails. Here's what I came up with:
Put the hair into pigtails (or a pony tail) & braid a piece from UNDERneath the pigtail.
Wrap the braid around the pig tail (I wrapped it twice & made sure the last wrap was under the pigtail - but you could just wrap it once if your braid was wide enough). Tie it off with a clear elastic. You can see the elastic here in this picture, so just pull the braid gently over the elastic so it's not showing. Unbraid up to the elastic or what is left so it is now part of the pig tail. Do it to both sides.
I curled her pigtails & topped it off with a red cowgirl hat & it turned out darling!!
Part the hair down the middle & do tuck-under knots.
Grab the 2 pieces from the tuck under knots & tie them like you are going to tie a bow.
This is what it should look like. Pull the knot all the way down to the base of the head.
Put into pig tails including the ends of the knot.
Do the exact same knot that you did up above & pin it with bobby pins underneath to hold the knot. You can see the pins in the picture.
I scrunched the ends of her hair because she has natural curly hair. But if your girly doesn't, then curl the ends to do little ringlets. Add cute bows to the pig tails to finish it off. 
Pull it all together into a pony tail. I didn't pull the pony all the way through.
