Striped Hat

A cute hat made from a coffee cup?!

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/striped-hat • Posted by Jessica

I wanted a cute little top hat to go with my stripy skirt~ It's base is made from a paper coffee cup (source of inspiration, really) and some ultra-thick card stock, which were both covered separately before being put together. Embellished with braided trims, fake flowers with glitter tips, three not-too-jaunty feathers, and a tulle poof. It attaches from the underside with two clips and a comb. In retrospect I should have ditched the comb and placed another clip in the front, and perhaps some ribbon from the sides to keep it on my head a little better, as it did wobble around a bit. Overall though, I'm *really* pleased with how it came out!
