Fascinators & Birdcages! Oh my.

Tear drop style bridal hat

Curious how fads dwindle and reappear, isn't it? And also, preference for one fad versus another?  For example, the 50's produced bridal fascinators and birdcage veils while the 80's gave us elephant pants (or maybe they were a gift from MC Hammer?). Anyhow, I haven't fashioned any elephant pants recently but take a look at what I did recreate.

       It's amazing to me how much people are charging for similar headpieces online too.  Fascinators similar to mine are listed anywhere from $35 to over $100! Unbelievable! I made the very headpieces you see now for probably an average of $1 (that's ONE dollar) each.  (cue grim music) BOM BOM Bommmmmm

Here's the best part of the project.  I found everything I needed to make these at the Dollar Tree, whoop whoop

Let me know what you think! .
