A recycled fascinator

I've been working on an outfit to enter into a competition. I will reveal the rest of the outfit at a later date, but first of all wanted to show my hair piece/fascinator.



I have made this hair piece out of things from around (and outside) the house: a shoulder pad, mens necktie fabric, tissue pattern paper, a yellow napkin, Christmas cracker decorations, foliage from the back yard, and a magpie feather, some eco-fi Kunin felt backing, and hair clips.

Bear in mind, this is not for every day wear!
