MOD V-shaped Curvette Headband is finished~Side View
I get a little silly 🤭 with certain holidays … 4th of July 🎆, the [ber] months 🦃🎄, & my BD 🎉, which follows Christmas & lands just hours before the New Year.
I had a cute 4th of July funny headband I planned on sporting - until Tim ruined that Day with a business deal 😒 that included Holland being gone the bulk of the Day; so, I'll keep it for next year 😉
I snagged a cute December funny headband, while in town the other day 😊 … and had Holland laughing, & saying, "it's YOU, Baby", when I modeled it for him 😘 I plan on sporting it on the appropriate December Day, this year 😁
But, I couldn't find a funny hat that fit the month of November 🤔, so, I designed ✍️ one that is simple, & using materials at the ready 💻🧶✂️🧵
There is beauty in simplicity.
In being authentic.
In creating something that feels like you.
Especially when everything starts to feel the same.
Be creative, be brave, be cringey … do it anyway: do it differently - do it authentically; do it like you ✨🍂
Put yourself out there and have fun!
I remembered that my mother had a pretty little V-shaped black velvet, Curvette Fascinator Birdcage veiled hat & I used the remembered image of that form, for my design inspiration.
