I am a huge fan of Christine's oh-so-feminine and romantic accessories so naturally, when I found out she'd be joining in and sharing the steps behind a très glam fascinator, I was just thrilled! Take it away, Christine:I love linen and the way the edges fray in a perfectly romantic way. And ivory linen just screams spring or summer wedding to me. This comb is perfect for the bride who wants something simple and romantic. Also would be wonderful, handcrafted loveliness for your bridesmaids.
Supplies:
- 4” plastic comb
- 10” x 10” square ivory linen (or scraps)
- 7” x 7” square ivory tulle
- Small glass pearls
- Fabric glue
- Thread
- Beading needle or skinny sewing needle
- Scissors
*All supplies available at JoAnn Fabrics

Steps:
1} Cut linen into circles: 5 x 2.5” and 5 x 1.5”
2}Stack small circles on top of larger circles and fold the double circles into little cones. Sew the bottom of the cones to gather.
3}Sew a glass bead (or glue with a tiny drop of glue) in the center of each cone. Fray the edges of the circles a bit.
4}Fold the tulle square into a cone and sew the bottom to gather.
5}Put a drop of glue on middle of comb and press tulle cone into glue and let dry.
6} Put more glue along the top of the comb and press flowers into the glue scrunching them together a bit.
All done! Have fun and use different colored linen, different colored pearls, more pearls, bigger circles, add feathers, whatever!
