Sympathy & Funeral Tribute training Course+

We were joined last weekend by a lovely group of students who were completing Module 2 Sympathy & hand Tied Course. This course is probably one of our most light hearted and fun course with he students getting the opportunity to design an array of Funeral tributes.  Some of the girls even commented that some of the displays were too nice to be only suitable for graves & funeral.

Bridal Hair Accessories made from Brooches

A very simple technique on using brooches to create a stunning hair comb or hair band ideal for weddings or communions 

What you will need is

• Metallic Wire
• Brooches
• 12 inches of 2 inch Lace for the frill
• Metal Comb
• Needle & thread 
  
  
  
  Using a pliers or strong scissors remove the Pin from the back of the brooch to insure it sits more flush on the comb.  Be careful when doing this as sometimes it can cause the stones to pop out of the brooches. (always keep a tube of glue handy to glue these back immediately or you will loose the stone forever)
  
  
  Thread the metallic wire through the brooches to join all three brooches together.  Doing this will make the brooches sit more securely on the comb.
  
  
  
  
  
  With a needle and thread gather the strips of lace into an oval shape frill that is large enough to cover most of the comb. 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Using your glue gun glue the frill to the top of the comb along the straight bar.  You could also add a few stitches to be sure to be sure  :) 
  
  
  
  
  Complete this simple comb by gluing the wired brooches on top of the frill and then with your needle and thread add some stitches along the entire comb to keep it all in place.

Tuesday we had a lovely day out of the office and met up with the lovely Soraya from http://www.cozediroze.ie and Carol from  http://www.carolshawjewellery.com it was great to catch up with the lovely ladies, we really had a lot of fun.

Wednesday we spent sorting through all our new brooches and packaging them up int bouquet kits, we select 3 of each brooch and wrap them up and the pack them in bundles of 10 different brooches.  This actually too two of us all morning in between answering enquiries.

Also on Wednesday morning all our flowers arrived for our Bridal Course at the weekend and these all had to be conditioned and treated and divided between the students.

Thursday was the end of our €50 January discount on our Brooch Bouquet Kits and it seems lots of you decided to wait until this day to order your kits, thank goodness for all the preparation and wrapping yesterday, lots of kits gone off to all corners of the world and our first to Greece :)

On Friday we welcomed our Beginners Bridal Students some who were returning students and some who had never been to us before.  we had a lovely bunch of ladies and they produces some beautiful displays over the 4 days.   One girls from Galway traveled home after the course on Saturday, displayed her designs at a fashion show / wedding fair on Saturday evening and then came back up to her course on Sunday morning.  That is what we call commitment but Caroline was delighted to be able to show off her Brooch Bouquet she designed with Janette on Friday evening.  She had a huge amount of interest in it and thinks she already has a couple of orders :)
