My inspiration for
rattails came to me unexpectedly. It all started when for some reason, I had a picture in my head of a women with ornate, braided hair, decorated with beads and jewels.
And then I came across extremely soft, fluffy brown and black yarns at the fabric store, I was so impressed with the softness, and the gold threads running through the brown yarn.
The curliness of the yarn reminded me of when I was a girl and braided my wet hair so that in the morning I had wavy hair to wear to school. So, I made these
braided zipper pulls and I love them!
I think long, wavy hair looks so romantic!
Part of the reason I think actress
Andie MacDowell is so wonderful, besides being a great actress and leading lady, is because I love her tresses! By the way, I couldn't find a photo, but check out the movie
Four Weddings and Funeral. Andie MacDowell is so gorgeous with her flowing, curly hair and large beaded headband!
I love the below more goth looking braided style too.
The below hair style really reminds me of my rattail purse braids.

I experimented for a while until I came up with just the right combination of yard threads and length that I wanted. And then I sewed different colored pearl strands, and beads and charms. I love how
these zipper pulls came out. I used silver and gold tone swivel clasps--and they can be attached to large zippers or sides of purses with metal hoops. Or use your imagination!
I mean
rattails in the kindest way--I like the messiness and randomness of the beads and "jewels". I also made some smaller rattails.
