Evil Queen's and woodland fairies

As you know, I decided to split my items into two shops, separating the masks from the fairy wings and flower garlands, you can find my Masquerade masks here! 

.......and you can find my new shop with fairy accessories, hair wreaths and evil queen crowns here!

Here are a few items from my new shop  I am trying to keep it topped up with regular updated new stock as in hair garlands and fairy accessories.

I also have evil queen crowns ..black with roses, perfect for the enchantress in you and there are mermaid tiara's, packed with real shells!

I hope you enjoy browsing my new shop and if you have any questions just ask!

Dark Fairy Queen hair accessories

On the darker side

As promised ..here are some pics of my Dark Fairy/Vampire hair accessories

I have made them using charcoal coloured reindeer moss, black lace, ribbon roses and cute little bat wings!

They look fabulous on and are available to buy from my Etsy shop! 

They come in a variety of designs and on different coloured Alice bands.

They are the perfect costume accessory to wear for Halloween parties, Goth events and festivals.

Light weight and comfortable to wear, these are suitable for teens to adults, not for small children as they have small parts and are a delicate item.

Ice Queen masks

I have finished my latest Ice Queen mask, this one is blue and it is now listed in my Etsy shop along with my other masks and mini Santa hats!

  My Etsy Shop

The Icicle masks are perfect for a masquerade ball or Winter Wonderland fancy dress event, they can be an Ice Queen, Ice Maiden, Snow Queen or Jack Frost, they tie with long organza ribbon and suit teens to adults.

A very sparkly mask! 

My miniature red and white Santa hats are made from felt and are mounted on an Alice band and set on the angle, they look so cute and are a really festive accessory for the holidays!

 this time I added purple accent beads

 And purple and silver glitter

 It ties with white shiny organza ribbon

It sold the same day I listed it! yippee! :)

Jack Frost/Ice Queen glue mask masque masquerade masked ball tutorial tips

Glue mask making tips/tutorial.
I have been dying to try this out, so I bought some extra long ( 30cm) x 11 mm hot glue sticks and had a go!
You need greaseproof paper and a template or just draw your design onto the paper if you can!
Heat your gun right up and off you go!
I used white organza as a base but you don't need to have a base as the glue builds up to a thick layer anyway, but I thought shiny white organza would look effective.
Do the outline first concentrating around the eyes and edges, and then just build up until you are happy with your design.
I put glitter in between the layers but you can wait and do that after.

Once it was dry, I roughly cut away the excess organza, I say roughly because it is too fiddly to be neat and it also leaves a nice raggedy edge that fits in well with the style.

This is the mask finished with long white sheer organza ribbon to tie.

I topped up the glitter as well ...for lots of sparkle.

You can add rhinestones, pearls and buttons, in fact anything you feel works with your design, just go mad with your glue ! lol

Once it is dry you can also use spray paints or nail varnish for your metallic and glittery effects.

Looks fab in all sorts of colours and is great fun to make! :)

 

Snow Queen?

I think perhaps I am heading towards an Ice Queen!?

Needle felted styro foam head

I worked hard yesterday on my "Nefertiti" and she is almost finished.....yay!

I have really enjoyed this project even though at times I thought I was mad and the felting got a bit of a chore, but the worst is over and she is almost finished!

Why I set myself this task I dont know, perhaps it was the challenge that tempted me!

Whatever it was, I have enjoyed it!
