GOT A LITTLE TOP HAT CRAZY

I had so much fun with the first one I spent the whole day saturday making more Happy Crafting

Mini Felt Top Hat

I used a template from T V K for the top hat pattern and I chose a card stock color that would best match my felt I sprayed adhesive to the back of my card stock and stuck it to my felt I gave the straight edge and extra 1/4 inch of felt so that I could fold it over the edge of the cardstock the first one I made you could see the cardstock edge on the top of the hat and it just looked crappy so I adjusted a bit and it looks like a perfect little hat top I used hot glue to put it all together added some flowers feathers a pearl spray a left over handmade porcelain clay rose to the back a ribbon and just tied the ribbon in a knot at the back and used a bow maker to make a bow and hot glued it to the knot I just didn't want it to come untied. I really like how it turned out even though I didn't over accessorize it and it was just a practice I had two pieces of 8 x 11 felt blue and yellow and now I gotta hit up the dollar store for more because I had a lot of fun making it. You will also find a Youtube video on The Vintage Key's blog showing how to assemble the hat...hope you try one too
