Project Overview
Whether you have just discovered sinamay or have been using it for years, this sinamay lily tutorial is fun project to try.
These lilies are created from squares of sinamay and the size is completely up to you. With a tiny 2 inch (5cm) sinamay square you can create earring-sized lilies. With an 18 inch square you can make a lily large enough to be a hat all on its own!
We recommend that you start with a more moderate size, such as a 9 inch (23cm) square, and then perhaps use a 6 inch (15cm) square to make a lily which will fit inside the first one. Once you get the hang of this technique, you will think of all kinds of creative ways to arrange your lilies. The Lilies on a Quill headpiece is one possibility, for example.
This tutorial was written by HATalk Founder Ann Morse-Brown and was originally published in her book, Make Fascinators.
