The Best Blogger Crafts: Simply Charming Embellished Fascinator

April 25, 2014 by FaveCrafts 50 Comments

This month we’re celebrating our bloggers and their creativity. In January 2014 at CHA, bloggers gathered at our CHA Networking Event to meet companies and to work more with us here FaveCrafts. After getting a bunch of crafty swag from the event, they set out to make projects out of the materials they were given. We’re featuring these projects all month with giveaways so you can make your own versions of their wonderful crafts.

Simply Charming Embellished Fascinator

If you’re feeling regal, make your own Simply Charming Embellished Fascinator. This is a great way to add some fun to a boring outfit. Throw together your own DIY feather fascinator using charms, fabric and even outrageous feathers. There’s no way any other person will have a similar outfit, that’s for sure. Gather up your favorite embellishments and be sure to show off your unique personality.

You can find this project, as well as many other fabulous blogger projects, in our new eBook, The Best Blogger Craft Ideas 2014: Decoupage, Sewing, Jewelry Making, and More free eBook. Download your own free copy today!

What do you want to make with clay?

Thank you all for participating in yesterday’s giveaway! Congratulations to Judy T. who answered “I have made loads of things with clay i.e. jewelry, flowers, small characters and animals for my grand kids, and I hope to make many more!
