I know this one will raise some eyebrows! I showed you the Panty hose cuffs I made....
What is that my grandmother use to say?! "Waste not, want not."
Well when I cut the panty hose up, what was left- the waist! I didn't want to waste the waist...so what does a gal do?! I made a headband out of it...but not just any headband. I wanted a 1920s feel-I went Flapper, not Gangster. I convinced hubby to watch Broadwalk Empire with me. I won't spoil it for you, but oh, my!
My daughter still loves her Queen costume(photos later on). She was suppose to help, glam me up. Heavy eye liner and all, but she was called into work and it didn't happen. So, I made the best of it...when she came home I heard, "What is up with your eyes?" I told her and got a big "ooooh that explains it"-so excuse the photo...it isn't good. I took it. I'm not photogenic and when hubby takes my pic, he hurries and I usually close my eyes. I'm the one behind the camera, not in front of. And I like it, like that, but today I'm going to be the model.
Now it is time to sew! You can do this by hand, glue gun with a few stitches or just your sewing machine. Pick out whatever bits n' bobs you like~
I had a black applique, some feathers(I think I need more feathers), some rhinestone and vintage flowers. Have fun...
This is how it could look. I want to make another one...I'm kinda saving the white flowers and feathers, for my daughter's Prom. It is next Saturday-I am making the flowers and a clip for her hair and boyfriend's boutonniere. I also painted a purse for her to take-thrift shop find, now red. I will show you how it all comes out~
Hope you have a Happy Friday! I am alone for the first time in weeks! I'm going to go ride my bike, visit blogs and write~ Woo, hoo...

Here I am cutting the top off the panty hose-the waist band!

You do photograph well though!
Thanks for your comment on my Turtle Being! I joke with my family that my headstone is going to say "Died while saving a turtle in the highway!"
My grandma always told me that she used to be a Flapper back in the day...I'm sure she would have loved what you did with that.
Great job :)
Renee-lol, you know better ;D I don't, but thank you! No, I'm really not-You should see the photos I didn't share-odd smirks and squinted eyes, lol. Thank you! I had fun~
Mark-Oh, how fun to imagine our grandmothers as Flappers ;D I love that~ Thank you!
Lolamouse-I too save turtles! I love that~ ooh, sorry about my Animal Medicine poem-just remember it was all in fun! We turtle savors have to stick together!

L.Diane-I bet! :D I know my mom tossed some stuff I wanted. I kept saying mail me stuff I can sell it for you! She didn't...even old letters and postcards are in big demand for art~ It is crazy, but good we can find a use for what is vintage and filled with memories~
Thank you :D
