Bridal Fascinator

How exciting that I now get to have a bride wear one of my fascinators.  Karen will be married in November but she's obviously already planning and I'm creating . . . I may even get to help her with the decorating of the hall but for now we're working on what she's going to wear.

Here's what I started with - a request from the bride for a black flower with peacock feathers to match her colour scheme . . . she'll have ivory, black, lime green and purple.

Supplies

Step 1 - these feathers were in a package twice the size - I cut them in half

Step 2 - curl feathers on larges peacock feather with blunt end of knife - glue down over black feathers

Step 3 - tear away feathers from bottom of peacock feathers and bundle (I wrapped black thread around and secured first)
 - curl with blunt end of knife

Step 4 - add largest flower

Step 5 - add smaller flower

Step 6 - turn over and cut away excess felt



Step 7 - glue down hair clips



Voila - fascinator fini!

I will work on the russian netting (for the veil) once I have the bride in my presence so that she gets exactly what she wants - don't you LOVE custom!

TOTAL COST:  $35.00 in materials
TOTAL TIME:  1.5 Hours - many hours of hit and miss with various drafts!
