Pretty little head thing

I've always been into different types of crafts, which really comes in handy with this new interest in all things vintage, not to mention burlesque! I'm also not totally rubbish at sewing, which is good, because I'm currently on a tight budget so can't go buy an entire new wardrobe, but I do happen to have a selection of fabrics stashed away in the attic just dying to be turned into cute dresses and skirts.

This post is about the accessories though. I have a friend who shares my interests in crafts as well as vintage fashion, and she had a birthday recently. We've been collecting a lot of materials for fascinators, hair accessories, etc, but hadn't got around to really doing much with them yet. So I decided to put together a little mini-fascinator for her. Here's how it turned out:

I ended up having far too little time to finish it, so the end result was a little bit less neat than I would've liked, but I thought it still turned out pretty cute!

I'm currently resisting the urge to go scour the web for cheap places to buy different kinds of feathers and beads and things. I also need to find some cute little head scarves, or fabric to make them out of. All in the name of saving money, of course! ;)
