#2 Blue Sequin Headband

Alright, I am on a huuuge headband kick. This project was just a quickie, and I'll honestly probably wear it more than the peach one just because it provides a good amount of funky to my daily wear and doesn't seem to fancy for my style currently. :)

Here's the finished headband:

All I did was sew black elastic the edges of the applique, and bam! Instant cute headband. XD

Next up: feathered headband! I was thinking of making it a fascinator, but a headband works better with the materials I currently have anyways so that's what it'll be. :D

#1 Peach Headband

I plan on making categories for posts, and official project posts will get labelled with numbers!

Onto to the project deets!

I've been really wanting to spruce up my wardrobe with more feminine clothing, so one step in that direction is to accessorize. I've also been feeling bland about my hair, so I went with the idea for making headbands. Today I went to Dressew on Hastings downtown, and had a field day pretty much, lol. They have an entire basement level just for notions. 2 or 3 *aisles* just for zippers! Ughgh, it was kind of a miracle that I only ended up spending 22 bucks there. I got some aaaamazing swag though.

Picspam time!

Here's my loot from that trip out! They had an entire wall with sparkly sequin appliques that I spent like 15 minutes staring at. I wanted to get small ones of each colour, but I just went with the blue...for now. ;) Aaah the cute fake flowers were super cheap too! There was also a section for feathers, so I might make a fascinator at some point, and got the red just in case (to match a dress I recently made <3).

And here's what first came from the stash. :) I took the plain small headband, and wrapped the peach ribbon around it using hot glue to keep it in place. After that step, I placed on the sparkly peach flowery item. A small pink ribbon is wrapped around the bottom, topped with a pink button! It probably only took like 20 minutes to make and looks super cute. :) Now just to find an outfit to wear with it... hehe.

What it looks like on me. I'm pretty happy with it, but at the moment I literally just have a ton of tank tops and not enough pretty things for it, haha. Sooo much fun to make though!

Coming up next: another headband using one of the sequin pieces. Simplier, and more funky for everyday wear, yay!

Introduction!

So this is my first using a blogspot journal! I've been really heavy into the livejournal scene, but it's mostly for my ramblings and personal thoughts. I just didn't really feel like spamming my LJ with crafts and sideprojects, so I decided to create another space for an outlet. :)

The goal of this blog is to chronicle my crafting adventures among other things. I'm not 100% where I'll go with it, but I'd like to have updates at least once a week with projects, or things in progress.

Here's a bit about me:
My name is Emma, and I'm from a small town currently living in Burnaby BC. The rural to urban shift has been influential on how I see the world. I love love love to make things obviously, hence why I made this blog, but I also really really love things that border disgusting.
I'm a criminology major that's one course away from graduation! Horror movies are my passion and obsession, but cute things rule my world. :D
My favourite method of crafting is embroidery at the moment because it's so easy to create pretty images. Original designs are fun to make, but patterns are great. <3

Anyways, not really sure what else to say. I just want a space to post my stuff, haha.
