Brief description
When you look at the beautiful fascinator hats on the cover, you can hardly believe that these can be made at home using easily obtainable materials! In the ebook we describe lots of techniques – some of which may surprise you – to enable you to dye, curl and change the look of feathers and how to form them into a mount. This can then be added to a hair-band, a comb or a hat-base, which we also show you how to make. Finally, we show you examples of what others have made. We hope you’ll be inspired to make even more beautiful pieces of your own!

No special equipment required – just lots of things you probably have already but would never have thought of using!

Some of the feathers and dyes you can use. It’s a huge advantage to be able to dye both feathers and fabrics to match outfits – we show you how to do this.   How do you know which dyes (and what quantity) to use? We give you guidelines and recommendations…   …all the way through to making a lovely, adaptable sinamay base onto which you can fix your prepared feathers. Wow! And this is just the start!
