A Wild Hat Accessory

This hat application has a nod to the jungle. I mixed a leopard print scarf with a not-so-wild highly decorated elephant. She loves to wear jewelry as much as we do. I wrapped a long and narrow scarf around the hat and tucked the ends under the wrap and added the elephant for some interest and sparkle. I just added this elephant brooch to my etsy shop www.etsy.com/listing/51256291/decorative-blue-elephant-rhinestoned

Clip On a New Look

Today I did a little trial and error in my search for unique and helpful ideas for our vintage costume jewelry. I tried a few things, but these are the ideas I liked the best. The first involves a clip on earring. A scarf used as a hatband is usually accomplished by tying the scarf in a knot. To have a less bulky application, criss cross the scarf where it meets and fasten it with a clip on earring. It adds a little sparkle and keeps the scarf lying flat against the hat. This is one of a pair of Coro earrings. I have them for sale on my etsy site www.bettyandbabs.etsy.com
