Three Great Handmade Millinery Crafts You Can Make Making your own millinery crafts can be a fun way to experiment with materials, exercise your

creativity and make something unique. In this guide, we will show you some quick and easily

millinery crafts that you can make your at home. All you need are a few materials, which you can

great crafts.

Here are three great millinery craft ideas that you can make quickly and easily:

Attach a Comb

Supplies:

Comb

Fascinator Base

Thread in a Matching Colour

Needle

Millinery Craft Projects Guide

1. Start by double threading the thread through the needle and securing it with a knot.

2. Decide which angle and position you would like to use for your fascinator base.

3. Start your stitching on the far left side, on the last tooth of the comb. Stich back and forth in

order to secure the comb safely to the fascinator base. Make stiches in the opposite

direction, as shown in the photo, to create a backwards letter L shape.

4. Secure the thread and tie it off.

5. Repeat the same process that you just completed, in mirror image on the right side of the

comb.

You can also use a glue gun to attach a strip of petersham over the top of your comb to cover all of

the stiches.

Attach a Veil

Supplies:

Fascinator base

½ meter of veiling

A Needle

Matching thread

1. Start by double threading the needle and securing the thread together with a knot.

2. Decide the length of the veil you desire, which will allow you to determine how much veiling

you will need to cut.

3. Gather the veiling in the centre and stitch it together to secure. Or, use the raw edge if it is

shortened.

4. Once you have gathered all of the veiling together, you can centre it on the headpiece and

choose the right angle. When it looks right, stitch it onto the base.

5. Gather the veiling from the right side and attach it to the base on the right side.

6. Repeat the same with the left side, gathering the veiling together and attaching it.

Make sure that the ripples and gathers in the veiling curve away from you face. This ensures that it

will not be too close and it will not irritate your skin or your eyelashes.

4. Choose some steampunk accessories and sew them together where you would like them to

be placed.

5. Attach the hair band to the top hat. Check out our demo on hairband attachment for some

tips.

Millinery Craft Projects Guide

Don’t use even arrangements of feathers – they end up looking too symmetrical. Always check the

way that the hat looks in the mirror or on a mannequin head along each step of the way.
