Pretty Easy

Description

This is a really easy, cheap, fun project. I got everything I needed at my local fabric/craft supply store & a specialty button shop.

Instructions

1

I wasn't sure exactly how I wanted this to look so I pinned everything to the hat first to get an idea. Then I took a photo to remember the arrangement. Deciding how you want it is the most time consuming step.
2

I used a hot glue gun to first glue down the lace trim around the crease in the hat, making sure to also glue down all the little bits so it didn't flop around.
3

I then glued the flowers and feathers on, followed by the buttons. And... voila, fini!!

Now I remember why I was saving up all those uniquely strange buttons! I remembered seeing this on here before and now that i have seen it i wished I had a hat because I have all the buttons... Now to find a perfect hat and some gears! Lucky you that you found such a connection on getting them! I cannot even begin to think where I might find such things around here where I live!

Great job on the hat by the way!

What's steampunk.. good questions. I have to say until you asked I would have a hard time defining it - its a style as far as I can tell. But, thanks to wikipedia, you can read up on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk
