Anne Fletcher writes: Wouldn't you love to put a beaded jewel in your hair and go out to catch the sun and the eye of everyone you pass? "Fascinator" hats became popular in the 18th century, and are worn to this day. Today we think of them as cocktail hats. They are small discs with a comb attached to secure them to your hair. Bead on ultra suede and then attach it to the fascinator and add a lacy beaded edge to complete the look - several patterns to choose from or design your own. Learn how to do appliqué beading and learn which beads are appropriate for this technique. |
