Assiut double cockade with jewelry embellishment. Love this style? Feel free to make one (or many) for yourself! I share my knowledge here with the hopes that folks will be inspired to DIY for themselves, to share with friends - or heck - to sell to their community of dancers. Hair flowers are a great way to use-up assiut scraps if you wind up with offcuts. While this was a border strip. Consider how you can piece together scraps to create patchwork strips to create your own cockades.

Back Side of Assiut Hair Flower. For fancy hair ornaments made with assiut, I like to hand-sew all the components together. This photo is taken mid-way through the final two steps. - Felt Pad - I hand-stitched the two layers of the cockade and the center jewelry piece through the assiut pad. - Clip - This is an extra-long duckbill style clip. These are cheap and cheerful and can be found anywhere hair styling/dying supplies are sold. I look for styles with holes to sew so I can easily stitch the clip to the felt pad.

Travel Cubes for non-assiut dance wardrobe. I know - shocking - I have costume pieces that are not assiut! In my quest to collect all the assiut in my life into one pile, I’m giving my entire dance wardrobe a reorg and some TLC. —— #studiodavina #bellydance #wardrobe #storage #mainenance3 days ago -
Organization Tip for Assiut Costuming: Use tightly woven zip-top laundry bags to store, transport, and launder your modern assiut wardrobe. —— #studiodavina #assiut #assuit #asyut #bellydance #costume #wardrobe3 days ago -
For this cockade-style hair assiut hair flower, I harvested a rhinestone pendant from a necklace. I removed the broken chain and simply stitched the bauble to the center of the cockade. Note: I like to use a grey upholstery thread when sewing silver-toned jewelry components onto costume pieces. Like this post?

One of the ways I love to use up assiut scraps when making belly dance bedah sets is to make hair flowers! These two samples are made with two strips of fabric that are gathered into a circle and then layered with a shiny pyramid border strip.

Finally got my custom planner printed out and bound - but I do not have any cool covers. Card stock will do as I think this out. Years ago, I used to take this binder to conventions and would bind books on the spot… It was eye catching, weird, and effective! In 2010 I went POD, but I still have my old Docubind when I need it! ——- #studiodavina #bellydancebooks #costumingbooks #author #costumer #designer #independentpress #smallbusiness #memories6 days ago
