Milliner Hat Shop / Millinery Hat Courses

Milliner Hat Shop / Millinery Hat CoursesClick Image To Visit Site I would like to thank you for taking the time to preview the introduction to my Ebook, How To Create Your Own Fabulous Fascinators and Creative Cocktail Hats! I have written this Ebook for the creative, passionate milliner, as well as anyone, who has had the desire to use their hidden creative talents to produce a millinery masterpiece!! For this reason, I have chosen to use equipment that is readily available to all, such as, a kettle, iron, and for those who have not yet invested in a block, I have suggested the use of a polystyrene head. It would be too great a disappointment for me, if you felt that you were not able to move forward creatively, due to a lack of the proper equipment!


I must emphasize at this point, that anyone with, passion, a good eye, and a creative heart will very easily be able to follow through on my instructions!! This should be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience for you, as it is for me!!



I would also like to point out that you should feel free to make your hat in your own desired material, and color. If this is your first millinery experience, it might be wise to use a less expensive material, however the amount of material needed is minimal and the finished product in silk is spectacular, as you can see!


I have structured this E book in 12 chapters, the first 11, pertaining to the creative cocktail hat, and the final chapter deals specifically with the fabulous fascinator. Each chapter gives you a step, by step written instruction, on how to achieve the final result. I have also systematically photographed the process, so that you are able to check each step, of your work, as you go along. All in all, this Ebook has over 80 photographic illustrations on 43 pages.
