My Heart's a Tart Facinator (tutorial)

Start by making your flowers- I made some circle roses out of different fabrics. To see how I made them check out my Be My Valentine Bustier tutorial.







Cut two equally-sized heart shapes out of your felt.







Cut a much larger heart shape out of your tulle.







Pick out the headband you want to use- I am using an elastic one because it works well for this project.







Plug in your glue gun and begin to heat it up.







Cut your organza into a strip of your desired length. Burn the edges and make a bow out of it.







Take one of your felt hearts and glue the tip of your tulle to the tip of your felt so that they join together at their points. Then place your bow on top.







Glue down your flowers where you want them placed on your facinator.







Turn your heart over and place glue all over the back side.







Place your headband carefully down on your hot glue.







Cover with your second heart and let dry. Once dry clean up any edges on your felt and you are done!

Hats

 

A hat is a head covering used for several reasons. It can be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial or religious reasons, for safety, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, they may denote nationality, branch of service, rank and/or regiment.

 

All About Cowboy hats

 

Perfect for the winter weather, trapper hats bring to mind the rugged American frontier (or Dr. Zhivago… you commie), the well-lined trapper hat is as warm as it is charmingly outlandish. And while we know its unapologetic fluffiness has oft seen it banished to the back of the closet/Siberia, we're feeling its gift potential this season. Say what you will—this year, the trapper's a keeper.

 

Many Mini Top hats

The news out there about the rise of sun damage has never been scarier. But you know, we love solving a scary problem with a stylish solution. While a cool summer hat may not have any effect at all on the ozone layer (at least, not in a way we can see), popping one on will give you the protection your head and face need when the hot summer sun means business. Best of all, it'll take your look up a few notches in that easy, jaunty way that can be 100% adorable. From floppy '70s-style straw hats to a crushable bucket style to a visor you can truly obsess over, these hats aren't just good-looking—they're good for you, too.

DiY Straw Pill Box Hat

Keeping in the theme of millinery, I decided to make a hat making tutorial using a straw hat in a modern way.

Inspiration Piece





Start with your basic straw hat. Mine does not have a very large crown. If yours does you will not need more than the top part of your crown.



Start cutting straight up the brim of your hat to the crown. Cut around the crown of your hat carefully to remove the crown from the brim.



This is what you should have after removing the crown.



Next wet both the outside and inside of your hat so that it is fully wet.




Begin to fold down the bottom of your crown.



Using clothes pins or office clips clip down your hat so that the part you folded down stays. You can blow dry your hat to speed the drying time but you really want to make sure it is bone dry so leaving it sit over night is usually best.





Using acrylic paint of your choice, begin to paint the area of your hat that you folded under as a test area. Slowly work your way around the entire outside of your hat.


You will probably need several coats of paint to achieve your desired color. I put on 4 coats of paint. Be sure to let each coat dry fully on its own before painting the next coat.

Coat 1


Coat 2



Coat 3



Coat 4



Attach elastic cord in key places so you can slip your hat on like a headband. I used a very large needle to do this.



Once you've finished your desired color you get to do the fun part of decorating! You can add a bird cage veil, feathers, rhinestones, whatever you want to decorate yours.

If you want to make a veil for your hat, cut a piece of netting slightly larger than your hat.



Sew a straight stich across the top only back stitiching on one end and pull on the bobbin thread to gather.



Round the edges and you have your veil.
