headband

Mermaid’s Hair

Bought in the bridal section of a craft store, this headband has flower and leaf stems made of wire attached to the headband. These flexible stems allow the sea glass to remain glued to the flowers and leaves when the headband itself moves. If glued directly on the headband surface, the sea glass would fall off when stretched.

This piece could be worn as a simple headband or as part of a sea glass-wedding theme—in a flower girl’s hair, or as part of a bridal veil.
