Fabulous Fascinators have never been more popular. And learning how to make fascinators is one of those delightful crafts where it’s surprisingly easy to make something stunning. Something that will get you lots of compliments. It’s also the easiest and most satisfying way to get into hat making. Learning how to make fascinators is not about hard and fast rules – there’s a handful of simple techniques and once you’ve got these under your belt, you can make your own designs. This detailed and beautifully photographed book will show you how to make 14 fabulous fascinators from scratch, from basic through to advanced. The author, award-winning milliner Kerry Aston, also talks about where she gets her inspiration from, so that even if you make all 14 of the projects in the book, you’ll know how to come up with totally original designs yourself. Each project starts with a gorgeous photo of the fascinator being worn, and then lists the tools and materials you’ll need to make it. This is then followed by a complete set of step-by-step instructions, illustrated with detailed photos taken as the project progresses. And finally, Kerry shows a handful of other similar-but-different fascinators, where she’s just tweaked some of the methods, sizes or embellishments to give a fascinator with a very different feel.   Categories: Art Crafts Books, Fashion bookshop Tags: designs, fascinators book, make fascinators, simple techniques
