Adorn Yourself....

The beautiful and delicate projects in Adornments are the perfect finishing touches for creating a purely romantic look. Make floral-inspired necklaces, in-full-bloom fascinators, and earrings with wispy feathers and sparkling beads. At parties, galas, special events, or even on your wedding day, the accessories in Adornments are artful creations that are sure to turn heads and inspire romance.

Flip through the pages and you'll find...

  • 20 accessory projects, from floral fascinators and hair pieces to necklaces, earrings and belts
  • A techniques section that shows you how to use a millinery iron, cut lace appliques and work with wire and beads to create stunning pieces that would rival the wares of any high-end boutique
  • Materials you'll love to work with: silk, linen and cotton fabrics, antique lace, delicate crystal beads and playful feathers
Using simple hand-sewing, jewelry and millinery techniques, these accessories are easy to make and even easier to wear. In fact, you may not be able to take them off!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book and great attention to detail! October 22, 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think Myra is THE BEST at creating stunning bridal adornments. Her pieces are like a work of art. This book is perfect for the DIY bride who can't quite afford to spend $100+ on a hair piece/belt/etc or for any sewer of fashion lover who is looking to create beautiful headpieces, belts or pins. The directions are simple and stated in a way that anyone can create something beautiful (or at least try!).

1.0 out of 5 stars It is very out dated
The photography is good, instructions clear, but the styling of the flowers are outdated. I would imagine it would be good for a costume accessory designer but not high fashion.
