Carolyn Braden's Creative #hair #fishbone #style

Here is a creative fishbone hairstyle I created for a night at the ballet. I wanted a little height so I teased the front and pinned it back before creating the fishbone braid.

Carolyn Braden Loves Braids and Bows

This style was posted on www.myglam.com. The ballerina bun is something I've done and so is the french braid. But together......genius! The bow just ups the cute factor!

Carolyn Braden's Wedding Flowers for Hair

I am in a wedding this summer and the bride purchased silk flower hair clips from Icing, a costume jewelry accessory store. After seeing flowers on Tarina Tarantino's website (my absolute favorite jewelry designer) the bride gave the inexpensive flower clips to me to "bling" them up like flowers clips on Tarina's site. Tarina's flower clips are gorgeous but when you are on a bridal budget, buying a clip for every girl in your wedding can be pricy. All I did to the flowers from Icing was trim them up (some petals were fraying) and take off the existing crystals. To match the wedding jewelry and dresses we will wear, I added flat back pearls and clear, crystal, flat back Swarovski crystals. I used Aleene's Jewel-It, an embellishing glue, and a pair of tweezers to attach the crystals and pearls.
Although the project took some time (I go slow for perfect craftsmanship) the result was well worth it! Tarina's flower clips run $38.00 and up. I managed to make these clips for under $10.00 each.
