New Do and Use of Plastic Flower Fascinators

Pin It Now!

Happy Spring!
I was wanting to try a new do for the spring and so I checked out Bust's DIY Guide to Life, which has sorts of amazing things from gardening, cooking, beauty, crafts, hazards, biking, hiking, etc, etc...

Anyway, it's a great book.  I came across the hair style section and I really liked this one so I gave it a shot:

I really didn't have the perfect flower centerpiece, so I decided to try my fused plastic fascinators and was very pleased with the outcome.

My hair style might be a little more princess braids than Frida, but it was my first try.  I still love it.

Necktie Fascinators revisited

Pin It Now!

Okay.  So I finally did it.  I have been wanting to make a necktie fascinator on a larger scale and I finished my first one up today.  I used buckram for the first time (exciting), and I used two neckties in the fascinator instead of one and it really gives it a mini hat feel.
I wore it out today to check out the response, and I got quite a few compliments on it.  Hooray!
I have tons of neckties so this is going to be my go to project for quite a while.  I love it and I hope you do as well.

Embellishing on the Necktie Fascinators

So it's been a while, but I have been maximizing my summer days by being outside.  I hope everyone's summer is going well.
I have been working on the necktie fascinator and have embellished them a bit more with some lace.  I think it gives it a bit more fullness and has a more vagabond look about it.  Here are a couple of photos for inspiration:

I have a new project that I absolutely love, necktie fascinators.  I love neckties and this is the perfect recreation.  I found this project when I was perusing OutsaPop's website.  She is a complete inspiration and I encourage anyone who likes to work with reused materials to check out this site:

Anyway, here are a couple of photos of the fascinators.  The fascinator in these photos was the first one so it was a bit of an experiment.  I like that it looks like a mini hat, but I have since figured out how to get it to lay flat as to be more flower like.

If you want, you can check out more photos at my Etsy store.

Enjoy~
