Mini Flower Headbands

Dainty little fabric flowers in a variety of colours, ready to be made into headbands.

I like the simple, unfussy, look of just one little flower on the side of the metal band.

On occasion though, I am tempted to add two -or even three- flowers on one headband....

I'll be listing a couple in my etsy shop soon.

Red Flower Accessories

I recently made these large red rose flowers and attached them to this very soft but sturdy black cotton ribbon. The durable, heavy-weight ribbon means that they can be tied and un-tied repeatedly without showing wear.

The flowers themselves measure about 10cm across but are very light-weight and easy to wear in a multitude of ways.

I can easily see them used in the more usual ways: tied around the waist as a sash or belt, tied around the head as a headband or tie-back, the wrist as a floral wrist corsage or even around an ankle for a more bohemian, free spirited look.

Another way of using these is tied around the handles of a bag like a bag charm or accessory. I do it all the time as it's an easy -and inexpensive- way to change a bag's look and brighten your mood in the process.

Another way I've seen them used is as a floral touch in home decor, wrapped around a vase or favourite object in the house. A flower accessory for the home.
I know I'd love to see these as nursery decor for a little girl! 
Perhaps tied around a bed post or chair.

My Creative Space - Aqua and White

I've been busy with custom orders lately.

Which I love!

I love that they take me places I wouldn't normaly go.

 Like aqua and white for an extra large bridal headpiece for Diane.

Barely There Champagne Organza Flower Bridal Sash

This is one of my newest organza flowers and one of my new favourites.

Bridal Sash / Headband by FairytaleFlower

The golden ivory colour of the organza is so delicate and ethereal, it makes the flower look luminous, like it's barely there.

FairytaleFlower bridal accessory

Which is why I added a ribbon in a fine, transluscent organza.

 It goes particularly well, I think.

Bridal Headband / Sash by FairytaleFlower

The leaves are also my latest addiction. Bridal white tulle and very white thread.

Favourite Autumn Reds And Browns

This is a headband-sash I made for a friend lately.

I was itching to make something in a riot of fall reds and russets and caramels 

and this was the outcome.

I was pretty happy with it

and it was well received -accompanied by a rusted orange lavender loveheart brooch, in a girly cotton pouch.

New Honeysuckle Pink Sash-Wrist Cuff

I know I've been going overboard with the pinks and reds lately but it seems to be a mania that has taken on a life of its own.....

I can't help it.

The thing is, I just can't get enough of these bright, upbeat colours.

So here's my latest fuschia pink organza flower sash/headband/wrist cuff.

It's actually quite difficult to photograph the organza and capture the hue accurately. The colour is approximate. In real life it's deeper and brighter -and a touch more red.

The ribbon is vintage, natural cotton and baby soft to the touch. In my very favourite hard-to-miss red.

First New Year Give-Away- Baby Pink Organza Flower

Now, here is the first give-away of the year, as promised.

The palest of pink organza petals with a surprising, black centre that sparkles and, I think, accentuates the delicate pink organza.

It's not on the dainty size as it measures about 11cm/4.5in across.

The two leaves it rests on are combination of an off-white cotton canvas and an antique white, thick jersey with shabby chic, unfinished edges.

I was intending it to be a brooch -as the photo underneath testifies- but the winner can decide it's fate and keep it as a brooch, turn it into a headband or maybe a sash.

I'll happily customize it for its new owner.

To win, all you have to do is leave a comment saying what you'd like to see this flower to be if you won it.
