Flapper Style Feather Headband!

 Flapper Style Feather Headband!  I used just a few things for this adorable headband! You will need: 16-18" fold over elastic Fancy Nagorie plumed feather plastic netting (from an old marble or fruit bag) plastic rhinestone button  I measured my head with the elastic and then cut it one inch shorter...this  way it stretches just enough to keep it on but not to squeeze out your brains. Use a lighter to melt both ends to prevent fraying.  Hot glue them to the back of the feather pad...and hot glue a felt circle over the top of them.  I used pliers to pinch off the back of the button... And put a dot of hot glue on the feather...then set the net on top and pressed the jewel on the glue. Holding it all together!  Looks cute and has a fun flapper vibe!  Can be worn as a plumed headband too!  Don't you love using recyclables in cool crafts!? This marble bag is the perfect touch of veiling! ...

Gold Faceted Flapper Necklace!

Gold Faceted Flapper Necklace! Make an extra long faceted bead necklace! I received all these Jewelry Making Supplies from PandaHall in exchange for this review/tutorial!  You will need: 10mm Half Plated Electropate Gold Beads 6mm Half Plated Electroplate Gold Beads 4mm Half Plated Electroplate Gold Beads Brass Eyepins You will also need jewelry pliers I love these half electroplated beads...just half of them is gold The other half looks shiny silver and crystal like. I work on a beading board. Just cut open each string of beads and put them in separate little piles.  Just place a random bead arrangement on an eyepin... clip the end of the eyepin to about 1/2 inch and loop it around the round jewelry pliers. This makes the perfect round loop.  The next section gets looped right onto the last eyepin...and repeat!  I wanted mine to be an extra long necklace. I used about 40 eyepins.  I love the gold and the vibrate crysta...

Feathers, Pearls and Flowers! Flapper Style Headbands!

 Lets start with the iconic Feather Headband...  I got this fabulous feather embellishment from Wholeport for $6. They have a big variety...peacock feathers too!  I used a metal headband and some stretch lace .  Just hot glued the lace to the headband...  I fit it to my model and marked where I wanted the feathers to sit.  Then I put a strip of hot glue on the felt backing of the feathers. Glued it on!  Simple and luxurious! Sort of a 20's flapper feel...modernized.  She loves this!  Next is the whimsical flower and pearl headband.  I was sent this yard of chiffon flower trim from Wholeport!  I used a wide metal headband form, just like the feather headband.  I began by hot gluing the flowers around the headband. I didn't even measure...but I used all but 1 flower on this! 2 important points: #1.  Put the glue on the headband, not the flowers themselves. The chiffon and t...
