Another 'Fascinating' Hair Clip





I'm getting quite into using my papercrafting bits and bobs to make jewellery.  This time it was a really quick and easy hairslide (or should it be 'Fascinator' seeing that they are so fancy!).  I made it out of necessity - 40th birthday party to go to, purple top and fabulous pink shoes donned ready, fringe too long and needed pinning back but had nothing suitable.  It was literally a few minutes to pop into the craft room, choose some pretty flowers and a sparkly brad and assemble it on a hair clip.  And to top it all as a result of wearing it I now have two commissions from friends for similar ones.  How cool is that?!

Can i commission one too please :-)

Also, after being at a wedding this weekend - they would look lovely co-ordinated with wedding outfits...

And last weekend, Jenny saw that lovely purple bracelet that you made and gave to me. She asked me if you could do the corsage bracelets in cream for her daughter's wedding to match some flowers they had already bought which were on hair bobbles from Primark.
So your jewellery bits are getting a bit famous now!! :)

Yes and yes. You'd better get your preferences sent to me,Lindsay, and I'll see what I have to make what you like. Rochelle - we could make them at Easter. We'll need the gesso to prime the grungepaper if they are to be cream so make sure you pack it.
