Saloon Girl Hair Piece

Over the Top Large Pink and Ivory Vintage Style Headband

I just love getting custom orders. This Lovely headband was made to match one beautiful Ivory Dress. The 6 year old girl wanted a headband, but does not like the metal or plastic headbands. It was so hard to let this beauty go.

Flapper Headband

I had the fun request to make a Flapper Headband for a Halloween this year.  The costume had come with a simple standard Flapper Headband and the Mom wanted something more original and true to the era.  I looked online for ideas for a true era Flapper Headband and then went to work creating a simple yet fun Headband.

The Headband turned out fabulous (and lucky for me, my baby girl may be able to borrow and wear this costume in a few years).

My two oldest daughters had so much fun acting as models and trying on the headband.

Dance Fascinator and Brooch

I am so excited to share my latest creations.  I few months ago my dear friend, Angie asked me if I would help her with her Daughter's dance costumes.  She was in charge of the costumes for her daughter's class and needed help with the headbands and also for something to put on the leotards.  Angie came over one afternoon with a bag of supplies and a creation she had been working on but then got stuck and called me for some help.  I looked over the supplies she had and we set to work, in creating the perfect Dance Fascinator.  Angie was looking for the perfect band for the headbands, so I showed her a cute shop of supplies on Etsy and she was able to find the perfect elastic for the headbands.  We took a quick trip to Hobby Lobby and picked up a couple more supplies and then it was time for Angie to go.  I worked for the next couple of nights putting together a Fascinator.  I sent a photo to Angie once the prototype for the headband and Brooch were complete and she loved them.  A few weeks later Angie came over once again with the elastic and we set to work prepping all the supplies for the headbands.  I had so much fun visiting with my dear friend as we worked together.  As her time was becoming limited, I finished the fascinators and brooches on my own with the help of my oldest daughter who would sit with me and work on her own projects and would be my model, so I could make sure that each fascinator sat perfectly on the head once complete. Once they were complete, I felt a sadness as I had enjoyed making them.  Angie came over once again to visit and pick up the Fascinators and Brooches.  I am hoping we can get together for more fun crafting in the future.

Here is the loot of completed Dance Fascinators.

 Doesn't my daughter make the cutest model:

These Brooches were so fun to make and I made them so they pinned onto the leotards.  This way the leotards could still be used for other costumes.  The bin can also be easily removed after the girls' performance and replace with a alligator clip, to make a fabulous bow.  I think my girls are going to get a couple of bows like this soon.

Fabulous Cobalt Blue Fascinator

Had the opportunity to make another Fascinator.  This time in the color Cobalt Blue, which would be worn by a Bride for her wedding.  I was so excited for the opportunity.  The Fascinator turned out fabulous and I was able to see a few pictures of the bride with it on and it looked great.

Fascinators

Just before Christmas, I was asked by a friend if I could make her a Fascinator with a veil for her Girls Night Out.  I accepted the challenge and starting researching different styles of Fascinator's.  After viewing several Tutorials around the web.  I felt I was finally ready to take on the challenge.

It was so much fun to make.  However, getting the netting just right was a bit tricky, but the end result was beautiful.  This friend loved her Fascinator and has since asked me to make a cobalt blue one for her Dad's soon to be Bride.

Here is the end result of my first Fascinator:

I also had a request for two more Fascinators, without the netting in Black and Red:
