I got into the spirit of Valentine’s Day this year and made some hairpieces for a few of my buddies as small tokens of affection.
I used a mix of leather and suede. I chose different color ties to match each of their unique styles, but was sure to give them all a heart of gold!
I also made a hair stick with a little bird resting on some leather hearts with a smaller heart suspended from a gold chain.
It is commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that Valentine’s Day is a day for romance. Who knew?
I thought the stick could also be interpreted as cupid’s arrow shot thru the hair, sparking love and desire. Hee hee.
