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.
