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
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
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
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
Glue/stitch ribbon to edges. do this slowly or it will look messy
Cut 8 or so circle of the organza in different sizes You can use alternating colours for a funky effect
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
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
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
Glue flower into position Voila!
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!
