Even More Linky Love

Oh, I missed a bunch of wonderful people in the last post! Please give some visitor love to:



Linky Love : January 2008

As an ongoing expression of gratitude, I periodically send out some linky love to all of the wonderful sites and bloggers who’ve either given DIY Bride a mention or a direct link. If you’ve missed my previous linky posts, do check out the fine sites I’ve mentioned here and here.

I’m truly blown away by the fascinating, creative, funny, and all-around-awesome sites that are coming in. Thank you all for being online and sharing your talents!

{I’m so sorry if I’ve missed your link or mention! These are what I’ve found in my recent backlinks log.}



Fascinator Tutorial

s320x240

A good hair accessory is hard to find – especially one that’s hip and inexpensive. Thanks to the fabulous Corvus tristis blog, a very nice tutorial for creating fascinators has been shared.

For the uninitiated, fascinators are large-ish combs or barrettes that are worn to formal events. They’re not quite hats or headbands and are bigger than more hair clips.

Fascinators are very high on the trend list this year and you’ll see these at higher-end salons for $75 – $200+. You can make this for under $20, easy. Find feathers at craft stores and online. (eBay is a great source as are millinery supply shops.)

Go traditional with white feathers or outrageous with shocking pink. Tres chic, my darlings.
