Hello beautiful ladies in the house. It is my pleasure to participate in this art contest. I love creative work hence the results of my showing up.

Today, I want to make a head Fascinator . Fascinator is one of the head-wear that is trending now. It can be used for any ocassion. It could by used for church, wedding, traditional marriage,etc.

Materials needed are;

• Princess sinamay
• Mould
• Scissor
• Measuring tape
• Thread and needle
• E7000/Uhu gum
• Stifner
• Beads, feather
• Alice band,Ribbon,wire, etc.

Materials used

PROCEDURE:

STEP ONE
First of all measure the mould to determine the measurement for fabric. After cutting the fabric, wrap the mould with nylon, tie the nylon and grease the nylon with vaseline to avoid sticking when applying the stifner. Then use the thumb-tag to hold the material to the mould, apply stifner on the surface of the moulded base of the Fascinator and sun dry it .

The base of the fascinator

STEP TWO
The next step after drying, is to remove the mould and trim the edges neatly, measure round the edge and cut the wire to fit the round. Tag the wire to the edge of the base and cover the edge with Petersham ribbon the also tag the alice-band. Alice-band is to hold the fascinator to the head.

STEP THREE
I cut the material into strips, play around to get my desired style and then start fixing them to the base.

STEP FOUR
Embellishment - at this stage I put the finishing touches to it by decorating it with pear beads and feather.

Conclusion
Above illustrations are my process in making this beautiful Fascinator. Thank you all for stopping by to read.
