Up cycled fur, Up cycled beauty!

Hi!

For a year now I have been , no pun intended, hooked by crocheting and knitting. And for some months I have been hooked to upcycling fur. 
I added these pruducts to the fascinators I sell on my Etsy shop and I must say  just ove them.
Just take an old fur coat or stol, rip it off and re use it in all its beauty.

These are my last ones, so tres chic:)

Bridal Fascinators

Hi!

I have made lots of bridal pieces over the Summer, for my Kokar shop.
They are unique, as I only make one of each, nevr exactaly the same.

 Burlap and fabric…love it!

I have a logo!

HI!
So excited about the logo for my business!
it was made by a Graphic Designer friend of mine and I must say she nailed it!

Kokar is my accessory brand but mainly fascinators and head pieces, so what more chic and appropriate than this???

Some new brooches for my shop

Hi!  

Here some new  items for Pick me a Rose

My "Nina" Ruffled Headband - a new design

Hi!

I am always trying to figure out some new designs for my hair accessories. 

I love the  look of   ruffled pom poms, usually with chiffon, but this time instead of making them in a circle or round shape, I decided to elongate them, to give them  an oval shape.

 This is how the ruffles turned out and I love this design!

Will name it "Nina":)

I will share the tutorial with you  all, gals!

 I used white felt, salmon chiffon , needle, scissors, pencil, invisible thread and hot glue

First things first:

Cut the oval piece of felt, whatever size suits you and your desire for drama !

 

Cut small rectangular pieces

 
Fold them lengthwise in half.

Fold again to form a square .


Cute a semi circle shape on top

(I am mixing fabric colors here as for some reason I can not find all the photos of the salmon color ruffle..does this spell disorganized?? :(

So here we go on with white:

Start stitching in the middle of the oval felt, as if you were gonna do a regular round shape ruffled flower

At this point you have a regular round flower/pom pom

Then , I started to add the fabric to  extremities of the felt, folding it in half to make it narrower  before stitching. This also gave the piece for more volume.

Continue attaching side by side and filling in.

Ready !

 

 

 Now attach to a headband or comb. Cut another oval felt to cover the stitches and help attaching it to the headband

Could not stop in one...so I made many many colors !!

All in my shop soon!

Crafty Items added to my shop ..Mason Jars Galore!

Hi!
As I mentioned before, one of the reasons of my extended absence from this blog was that I have been working a lot making items for my shop and craft fairs I will attend to this Summer.
Last saturday I was at my first farmer's market and was sweet :)

I made some of my distressed mason jars and mason pin cushions but tweaked them a  bit with some fabric flowers and twine.
I also made more upcycled lampshades with fabric scarps.
As a finishing touch, I added my homemade tags, with my new exclusive PICK ME A ROSE custom made logo...I LOVE IT!
