Fascinators is the first craft book of its kind, with how-tos for fascinators, floral crowns, tiaras, and more -- 25 in all, plus variations on each project. There are even sweet projects suitable for little girls! Fascinators range from dressy professional to black-tie elegant and can cost as much as a designer pair of shoes.
