Those are beautiful!! Great Job.
All I can say is WOW, these are absolutely beautiful! As a fellow May bride, I am impressed at how much of the details you have already done!
Thanks for this post about your hair embellishments!
I got another order today for guinea feathers because they saw them on your blog and followed the link!
Thank you Julie!
Grandma betty! that is awesome! I am so glad you are getting orders for the feathers!!
oh my! these are gorgeous! could you in any way describe how you made these? you're so creative and although i know i could make them if i had directions, i won't be able to figure that out from your pictures alone!
i made these by bunching up the tulle and covering with hot glue (adhering to a piece of cardboard) Next, I hot glued the feathers on top the cardboard. Then I cut petal shapes from the silk and pinched the base together with a dot of hot glue in the center of the base (to give it a curved shape) Next, I literally just layered them on top of the tulle and feathers (hot glueing between each layer) Each flower took about 10 large and 4 small petals. The stamens, I bent in half and glued between petal layers. The twigs were just stuck into different layers with glue. Lastly, I glued a hair clip to the back of the cardboard and carefully cut around it. If I wasn't out of materials, I would remake and document ;( good advise for next project to give a how-to..thanks!
these are amazing! i bet you can start selling these now on your etsy!
thank you so much for explaining how you made the hair pieces! my bridesmaids told me they would help me too - i'm so excited. thanks again!
