Whatever sparks your creativity!

This is an inexpensive fascinator.
It'll cost between $5 - $10 for the supplies.
It can be crocheted in about 30 minutes (or a little more depending on your level of expertise).
They are perfect for party favors too!

This tutorial is for personal use only. If you do make a fascinator using my tutorial, I would appreciate a link back to this tutorial please! I always try to give full credit to the creative blogs and people who inspire me - you can see evidence of this all over my blog! I only ask for the same curtsy in return.
Thank you!

Have fun!
