After many months of drooling over gorgeous hair pieces I can’t afford – I decided to make my own. I made this with a bag of white feathers, a gold leaf designed button, and navy blue tulle all bought a Joann’s. They must know me as the Tulle lady – cause I also bought 18 yards of tulle to make my Halloween costume (loofah, loofah) this year.
It wasn’t terribly hard to make at all. Just bunch up the tulle in some circular pattern almost rose like pattern (seriously…think like a loofah) and sew all the “petals” together in the middle so that it keeps it’s form. I sewed the button also right in the middle so that the tulle would puff out, and the center would lay flat. I sewed the hair clip onto the back of piece of twill and used a hot glue gun to glue the feathers on to the opposite side of the twill.
Hopefully there’s more crafts to come, as I also bought about 1 yard of bright grosgrain ribbon in a bunch of colors, same tan suede trimmings as well, and will return to Joann’s sometime to buy some more tulle. In addition I bought a lot of felt, and hope ton finally cracked that Japanese crafts book I bought almost year ago on felt art. I And hopefully I can expand my DIY accessories collection.
