A queen isn’t really a queen if no one pays attention to her. To command the proper respect, it helps to dress the part. Nowadays, wearing a crown or tiara is just too obvious—it’s much too over-the- top. Fascinators are the new tiara. You can’t wear one without attracting attention, and they instantly give you that “Eyes on me; I’m in charge!” look.

Note about yarn: One ball is enough to make a few snowflakes
