SteamPunk Headband

In February the Fantasy Con group hosted a Cosplay Ball. I needed to pull something together. 

I like the steampunk look and style. It's great because it's about details. It gave me a few little projects to work on. 

I knew I wanted a flaired skirt that was fitted at the waist. I love the bi-level hem. It's fun to walk in this skirt. Especially down stairs. (I'm like a 5 year old with a spiny dress) 

There aren't a lot of ways to "dress up" short hair. I knew I wanted to add a cool head band. 

Pretty huh? It turned out much how I imagined. I found the The clock hands in Michals scrapbooking section. The flower charm in beads. Cut out the same colored center bead and put it all back together with the peacock blue bead for more color and shine. Then decided a little more bling couldn't hurt and added the Crystals . 

Time for some pops of color. A simple wrist cuff. I loved the fabric but when I started working with it, I decided the grayish back side was more steamy and interesting than the silver front. 

             

  I had the clock insides and doll house mirror kicking around. The little mirror had previously been painted and aged. I Added a few gears and a pin back to make a broach. 

That's it, my steampunk look. I have worn the skirt lots since then. I love it.
