Look what I am making tomorrow!!



It is a decorated Felt Top hat. I saw these at Joanns for $20 and it was onsale for $10, however I think my total cost would be about $5, I already had most of the supplies here in my stash. The hat I will be making tomorrow will be different.

So I will be making this on my ustream show tomorrow Saturday  October 6th at 1pm central time on my channel. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/all-things-creative1

Here is a list of materials you will need

Felt- any color or pattern

Trim- ribbon, sequins, beads ect ect ect, possibilities are endless)

Feathers  any feathers will work.

Embellishment - I used some of the rhinestone picks from the bridal section here. I will also make some felt flowers.

Glitter Glue

Hot Glue Gun and sticks

Scissors

Circle dies and or template- I used Spellbinders S4-114 I also cut a template about 4 1/2" circle for my brim.

Stuffing_ I will just use a plastic bag from walmart to stuff it

Headband or a spring clip

Optional - cereal box weight chipboard to keep the brim sturdy, can cut to size of brim. Will explain in the ustream.

1- 3"x9" strip of felt
1 - 3 3/4" circle largest in the die set
1- 3 1/4" circle 2nd largest in the set
1 4 1/2" circle, I cut this myself cause I didn't have a die for it
