HATASTIC! BIOG

**Hatastic! is nominated as ACCESSORY DESIGNER OF THE YEAR 2011**

Ever since I can remember I have always been creative, and making things had always been my little hobbie/outlet.

Making hats/fascinators came about when I couldn't find a hat to wear to go with my vintage cream crepe dress for a very special wedding. I wanted a fascinator, but all I could find were bright and brash feathery things that were really expensive and looked like everything else on the high street.

So I decided to make my hats out of what I could find at home. It was a great success and from then I made more and different ones until I was commissioned me to make a bride and her two bridemaids' wedding headdresses!

So here I am hoping that you will have as much fun wearing them, as I have had making them! My ethic is to reuse the bits and bobs I find in junk shops and remnant bins so as to create a very different and interesting piece that you won't find anywhere else. Also making them affordable too!

CASH FOR TRASH
As you know, Hatastic! pieces are made from upcycled bits and bobs. I am keen to find more materials all the time. If you have any broken/unwanted old bags, shoes, clothes, belts, jewellery (or anything else you think would look great on a headdress), I'm keen to take them off your hands! You send me your unwanted items, and I will give £1 per pound of what you've sent, and will refund your postage costs too. Please contact me here
to get details on how you can make some money and save the environment.
