  Step 1

  Take your Sinamay Disc and cut a piece of fabric which is slightly larger than your disc

• 

  Step 2

  Glue down one corner and then stretch the material, gluing the opposite corner. Then work your way round gluing and folding the material in as you go.
  
  I used a glue gun as it sets quickly and lets you keep working

• 

  Step 3

  OPTIONAL STEP
  
  I decided that I wanted a glitter finish to my fascinator but you can miss out the next few steps if you don't want the same finish.
  
  Turn the Disc right side up and cover in a thin coat of glue
  
  For this I used Mod Podge (you can buy it on ebay/amazon)

• 

  Step 4

  OPTIONAL STEP
  
  Put the disc in a bowl/container and shake glitter over the top of it, making sure all the glued area is covered

• 

  Step 5

  OPTIONAL STEP
  
  Leave the glue to dry

• 

  Step 6

  Draw round your disc onto a piece of felt and cut it out.
  
  Then flip the disc over, put glue round the inner edge and place the felt inside . this covers all your rough material edges from when you glued the outer material on
  
  For this step, I went back to using the glue gun again.

• 

  Step 7

  Take a thin piece of ribbon and glue round the edge again, sticking on the ribbon as you go. This puts a nice edging on the underside of the fascinator

• 

  Step 8

  Take your comb/clips etc and attach to the disc.
  
  I decided to use a comb, which I wrapped ribbon round the base and glued both corners to the inside of the disc. I then stitched both sides a few times to improve the durability of the fascinator.

• 

  Step 9

  Take your spider toy and put glue on the base of its body, before attaching it to the front of your fascinator.

• 

  Step 10

  Then all you need to do it wear it out somewhere! Guaranteed way to get noticed at your Halloween party this year :D

I love this so much! I am going to try and make my own spider with pipe cleaners and fur, maybe wrap the legs in satin. I may add a veil of spiderwebs to go over my face. I love your beautiful necklace also. I made a choker with the bite marks but this is so much more dramatic. Your results are stunning.
