DIY FASCINATOR

TOOLS;
SINAMAY
9cm SHUSH TRIM WITH BINDING FOR USE IN MAKING HATS,FASCINATORS AND CRAFT wire,hotglue,or thread headband ,comb or fasinator base(avalible on ebay) first I purchaced sinamay trimming off ebay from (Leading Fabrics Ltd) once it arrived i set out my tools and started to work out the pleats from shipping by rubbing and streaching. i watched a few youtube tutorials but none where that amazing! the base so i cut my sinamay in half threaded one with wire down the side closest to me and tied a knot in the end then pulled if you have ever made a ruffle its exactly like that only with wire so now i took the end with out the knot and pulled it close as I could so i could connect it i threaded once so i could tie a secure knot then cut the wire you should have a bowl looking shape hide any wires and secure with thread or more wire this was my base i secured this to a headband with wire. my top fascinator was just finding the shape i wanted and securing that with thread you can use bobby pins to help while sewing! after i had the look i wanted i added two ends of black sinamay shaped as leaves to give my rose shaped fascinator a edge then i added feathers for flare! hot glue is great for feathers! so thats how i made my fascinator! thanks for reading send me a pic if you try it!
