Spiked Crown

I was very inspired by the headdresses made by @hysteriamachine on instagram, and Angela Clayton's Spiked Halo Tutorial. I'm not 100% happy with the way mine turned out, the glass made it a little heavy, and the shape didn't turn out quite the way I hoped, but it was a fairly straight forward project. If you like the look, I highly recommend giving it a try, the most expensive part was the spray paint at $3.99, everything else was either free, or something I already had. 
The yarn didn't take the paint quite as well as I hoped, but I kind of expected that, luckily my hair covers most of it. I am kind of disappointed in the way that the crown looks with the butterflies, it just seems to be one of those cases where something looks much better in my head then it does on my head.

Giant Butterfly Clips

I've made fairy wings before, using four wire hangers for large sets or two for small sets, and I was curious to see what I could make with just one hanger. 
The finished butterfly is a bit too small to wear as wings, but it's still cute and I think this experiment turned out alright.
