Nerd Crafts: Fez Fascinator

I needed one more lil touch to my SDCC 11th Doctor cosplay, enter the fez fascinator!

Supplies:

*one piece of felt

*headband

*glue gun

*needle and thread

*card-stock

*printer

*string

Step 1:  Print out my template on 8x11.5 card-stock.

Step 2:  Cut out template and trace onto felt.

Step 3:  Once cut out, sew the two sides together where you like them.  I used my mirror to figure out how big I wanted my fez, then cut and trimmed to the desired shape.  Feel free to glue this part if you are not a sewer.  I am NOT a sewer but I tried!

Step 4:  Take your circle template on card-stock and glue to bottom of felt circle.  Then glue the top of the fez to the bottom.  If you are a skilled sewer feel free to sew the two pieces together.  I am not, thus the glue gun.

Step 5:  Make a tassel.  It is SUPER easy, check out Pinterest for a DIY.  Once completed, thread top through needle and through the top of the fez.

Step 6:  Tie a knot to make tassel fall at desired length.  I also glued a bit on the inside for added support.

Step 7:  Glue on completed fez to your headband and enjoy!

I made two fez fascinators for $5!!  The headbands were from the .99 cents store.  Felt from Michael's was less than .50 cents a piece.  The thread is only .30 cents at Walmart, .36 cents at Michael's.  I did have to purchase larger holed needles but they were only $1.50 at Walmart.  This nerd craft did take a bit of time with all the trimming and what not.  But I learned a lot for the second one and then it few by.  Good luck and don't forget to send pictures of your completed nerd crafts to me!
