holiday makings part 3: hair piece

decided to make some snazzy hair pieces for holiday parties. my clothes tend to be pretty basic and boring, so it's fun to have what i coined in college as a "formal head." at least i can usually rely on my hair and sometimes even my face to look okay.

some of the materials:
i ended up not using the starry paper or the headbands. let's face, most of the time headbands are uncomfortable. i pulled apart 2 cheapo holiday floral picks to get the snowflakes, strands and balls.

i wanted one to be noticeably dimensional so the base had to help defy gravity a little, hence the foam ball (cut in half).

with the magic of hot glue and foam, this one one turned out REALLY snazzy and i didn't even have the courage to wear it out. too much attention drawn. but it's so pretty! (and maybe a little dangerous to others??)

i knew that i might chicken out in wearing that one, so i made a bobby pin with a single one. this was easy to wear.

bobby pin accessories also need a base to attach things to. i painted & glittered some painters tape and simply hot glued the remaining snowflake and ball on to the tape.

glitter, glitter everywhere!
