Fascinator Tutorial

Khris — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:48:12 +0000

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.
