Happy Halloween from DIY Divas! Now, on to the fun.
This week we are featuring DIY Hair pieces, which can cost upwards of $200 if you purchase them from a retailer. Rachel, our ever-crafty coworker, has found a way to completely bypass the bridal boutique and instead make gorgeous, chic hairpieces that are perfect for a bridesmaid or even a bride!
Step 1: Head to your nearest craft store and peruse the faux flowers section. You’ll be surprised at how realistic and beautiful many of them are. Once you’ve found the perfect flower, you’ll also need a hot glue gun, a small square of felt cut into a circle with a hole in it, and a little clip (also available at any craft store). You can also purchase any sort of adornments to add to your flower, such as feathers, lace or jewels.
Step 2: Open the clip and slide it through the hole in the felt. This will be the back of the hair piece where you’ll attach it to your hair.
Step 3: Place a dollop of hot glue on the back of the felt between the clip and the felt. This assures that the clip will stay on and not detach in the middle of your wedding!
Step 4: Take the hot glue gun and use it to attach your flower as well as any additional accessories you’ve purchased to your felt backing.
Step 5: Finally! You have a beautiful hair piece worthy of a princess. I love the look of this one with the exotic feathers. It’s very vintage and modern at the same time.

I am not this talented, but I think it looks lovely. The feathers almost blend into the up-do!
