feather fascinators

fascinators

 

As promised, I am sharing pictures of the fascinators I made with you. I bought some fabric and cut strips. I stitched these to prevent the edges fraying, then wrapped them around to shape them into flowers. These were sewn at the back to secure them. I then added loops of organza and satin ribbon and finished off with some black feathers. I backed the finished arrangement with a circle of black felt to keep it neat, securing this with fabric glue and blanket stitching. I then fixed the smallest of these onto a broach pin using thread. I added a fascinator back to the other one, using a hot glue gun, so it could be clipped into hair or pinned onto the outfit. I think its a great way to customise an outfit with something handmade and unique for a special occasion.

feathers for you....

 

stamps: dictionary, sweet essentials from stampin up! feather stamp free from craft stamper magazine

inks: tim holtz (tumbled glass, broken china) ink pad, archival (cobalt) ink pad

cardstock: craftwork cards digi cardstock, 4x4" cardblank

 

first, I inked the card blank blue. I then cut a mat of digi card to fit and stamped it with the sentiment and 3 feathers (in the cobalt). I made some background paper, stamped  with the dictionary print in the darker blue and inked all over in a lighter blue (using the tim holtz ink pads). I then stamped 3 feathers in the cobalt on the paper and cut them out. I glued them on top of the original stamped images on the mat to finish.
