Naturally enough, my tabletop soon looked very messy and disorganised and it was at this point that I thought perhaps I should have just tried one thing at a time, rather than randomly cutting and gluing.
In the end I came up with 4 designs. The roses were simply the small bunches of artificial flowers that you can buy from most craft stores, with their stems wrapped around the top of a hair comb and glued in place. The sequins were a trim I already had, cut to size and glued in place, while the ribbon bows were a little trickier. Firstly I stuck a length of ribbon along the top of the hair comb to cover the plastic, the trim was cut and the ends burnt to stop fraying - I suggest doing that bit very carefully! Then a little ribbon bow was stuck on top to finish.
The fourth style this year was a bigger fuller bow, with a gathered centre.
I have told our young dance student that this will be my entire ballet hair accessory collection for the next twelve months - time will tell!
Happy crafting
