Fascinators Hats Fit For a Derby Tea Party

 Fascinators

     

 

Headband/hair clip      felt for insisde         Fascinator felt hat base

Hot glue        scissors        feathers        flowers     *nettings

 Take a head band base, on the bottom (that goes on your head) put a piece of felt that holds down a head band or clip- secure with hot glue.

 Once this is dry, begin working on the top of the fascinator.  I like to glue on a large flower.  Behind the flower I add the netting and then stick in feathers.

*I found that a bath scrubby works great for netting.  That is what is used in the one in the photos.

Fun and super easy to make!

You can come Saturday, June 6 to my class and make one too.

These are great for Derby Teas.  Have a tea and watch a horse derby, serve the mint julep (recipe in the book), and have everyone make a fascinator.

Headwear traces back to Marie Antoinetter Era in the 1770’s. The first fascinator was mentioned in print in the 1850’s  The 1980’s and 90’s regained popularity.













Here are two of the teas I will be serving at the tea....
a Mint Julep and Lemon Plume.


Everyone will get a ticket and also a "betting" ticket.  We will watch a Belmont Stakes race, pick horses and then there will be prizes given out!  It's going to be lots of fun.  There will also be tea sandwiches and other food.
