Three Blues Flowers Fascinator

Three Blues Flowers Fascinator

Posted 2013-11-07 by dianafollow
This is a slightly fiddly, but beautiful way to make paper flowers. You can make it with the kids in one go, or spread it out. I made mine in three shades of blue to pay tribute to this years Melbourne cup winner; Tres Blue. Glued to a headband and voila, a fascinator!

  • Method
  • Find a few different colours/ textures of paper. I used a sheet of craft paper I painted with watercolours in blue, scraps of a blue map and a sheet of blue shiny cardboard.

  • Cut out petal stencils from two of your chosen craft papers.

  • Use the firmest (shiny cardboard) as the circular base to glue the petals too, and also as the flower centre.

  • Glue petals one at a time onto the firm circular base, securing the centre of the petal with tape or stapling it. First make the outer layer, then the inner.

  • Cut out a small circle for the centre, making small cuts around the circle which you fold up. Glue a button or shiny black sequined half ball in the centre.
