Project Overview
In this tutorial, you will learn how to make three different variations of Sharon Panozzo’s ‘Lazy Daisy’ out of crin.
Crin, also known as crinoline or horsehair, is a synthetic netting commonly used in millinery. It comes in many different colours and widths and is also available in a tubular form which can be used to cover handmade millinery wire headbands. If you are new to working with this popular hat making material, check our blog for some top tips for working with crin.
Each variation of the crin daisy starts out in the same way and then is finished slightly differently, creating three distinct flower styles. You can make your daisies even more unique by experimenting with crin widths and trying new materials in the middle of your flowers. For each of her example daisies, Sharon used 3/8” (1cm) crin for the petals, felt for the base and frayed Petersham for the centre.
This crin daisy project was originally published Sharon Panozzo’s craft book, Creating with Crin. Sharon is based in Illinois (USA), where she runs her own millinery business called Nouveau Hats by Sharon.
