  Step 1

  Materials you will need

  Base- Im using canvas usually used in longstitch (its about $2 for 5m) however felt, cardboard, foam can all be used

  ribbon, Im using 1" grosgrain ribbon by 'so delicate" ($2.99 for 4m)

  Base colour material- im using heavy black satin remant form a previous project (free)

  Organza or Chiffon for flower - any synthetic material will work- Im using a cream organza remnat ($.90)

  Feathers- Im using cheap black, white and grey rooster feathers bought form a $2 shop

  Veil (optional) Im using tulle but millenery netting looks better, but i dont have any :(

  Button or decal for middle of flower- Mine came in a box of buttons i got at an opshop for $2

  lighter
  tea light candle
  needle and thread (optional)
  hot glue gun
  Scissors

  Step 2

  Cut your base
  I picked the teardrop style :D

  Cut your base fabric into the shape of your base plus an inch all the way round

  Also cut another piece thats just smaller than your base

• 

  Step 3

  Glue the base to the fabric
  Pinch it as you glue the one inch down to the underside
  Dont stress if its not perfect as your covering it.

  I usually would then hand sew the edges of the base but im lazy :D

  Glue the smaller piece of base material to the underside, this should make it appear neater :D

• 

  Step 4

  Glue the comb to the underside (you can do this step last if you prefer to check the comb is positioned right)

  Then take an offcut of the base glue/stitch it to an offcut of the material used for the base and glue that to the comb.

  Another method i use-

  Dont glue the underside piece of base material down in step three

  Glue comb to underside base material,

  complete above steps ( the usual step 4)

  Then stich material ontop of comb to underside material
  this provides more security :D

• 

  Step 5

  Glue/stitch ribbon to edges.

  do this slowly or it will look messy

• 

  Step 6

  Cut 8 or so circle of the organza in different sizes

  You can use alternating colours for a funky effect

• Step 7

  Burn all the edges of the chiffon (Purdy petals)

  Use a tealight and tweezers

  BE CAREFUL!
  don't burn yourself
  that being said i think i am always burning myself lol :D

• 

  Step 8

  Glue petals on top of each other. Be careful glue is hot. You should stitch here too.

  It helps if you use a small scrap of fabric to glue the flower to.

  Glue your decal/button to the centre

• Step 9

  Arrange feathers wear you want them

  Glue/sew down cover with a piece of matching ribbon or the base material

  If you choose to sew please use a little glue too as it helps the feathers never fall

• Step 10

  Glue flower into position

  Voila!

• 

  Step 11

  To add Veil.

  Cut tulle/ netting into a rectangle

  Scrunch/pleat one side of the tulle and then about an inch of the longer side

  Sew onto a ribbon/fabric

  Glue to underside of fascinator.

  ooooh! Pretty Pretty Pretty!
