The point is both styles are extremely awesome, and despite the fact I don't have the guts to walk around in full Gothic or Steampunk clothing I love them anyway.
I made this hairpiece because my watch stopped working. It was a very pretty watch, and I felt it was rather a shame to just throw it out. I cut the leather straps off and decided it would make a cute Steampunk hair piece. (Watch hair decorations are very cool in the Steampunk society)
I'm afraid my photos are rather out of focus, however I'm sure you'll get the general idea.
To make this hair piece I used:
1.) Remove the cord from the centre of the artificial loofa. When you have unwrapped the loofa to it's full extent you will notice it is shaped like a big tube with open ends.
Cut a large circle approximately the width of your palm. You will need to make sure that some point at the edge is not cut, so that the your circle is like a smaller version of the tube.
2.) Take your ribbon and fold it into a loop. Sew it firmly. As you make a new loop sew it onto the first loop in a petal arrangement. Continue until your run out of ribbon.
If you would like your flower a little larger just add bigger looped petals to the back.
3.) Take your glue gun, and once it has fully heated up add some glue to the back of your flower and attach your circle-tube you cut out of the loofa.
4.) Take your watch face and glue in the centre of your flower. Leave the whole thing to dry completely.
5.) Take your hot glue gun and attach your hair clip to the back of your hair piece.
A one of a kind gorgeous Steampunk hair decoration.
