It's prom time! I secretly wish I could wear this little number. Anyone else? My studio is a few doors down from Ellen's dress shop. I've been enjoying their ever changing windows with all the different prom dresses, picking my favorite. Naturally I start thinking about accessories for these dresses (and my prom days, waiting for Seventeen magazine's special issue on the subject). My gram always made my flowers. My inner 17 year old self would have to have a foo foo hair fascinator this year. They are easy to make with a few supplies. Keep it simple or funky, embracing indivdual style.
You need: a cloth headband, big flower, feathers, a stem of sparkle stones, wire cutters, scissors, hot glue, basically. Just walk around the craft store, you'll find some fun stuff!
Arrange your pieces on the head band and hot glue as you go. It helps to work in front of a mirror so you can get an idea of where the pieces will actually be.
The sparkle stem is from Hobby Lobby by Prima and the silk flower is from JoAnn's by Plaid Enterprises. (Cue Footloose soundtrack)
