I've created another felt mini hat. This one I did as all one piece so the brim took on a ruffled effect. I used Plaid Stiffy as the stiffening agent this time. I also stiffened some yellow organza and green satin which I cut to make the flowers. My daughter caught me making it and insisted I add a lady bug--and give the hat to her. Oh, and I should put it on a headband.
This is the hat drying. I used an apple sauce cup for the crown, put a rubber band around it and then sat it in a large yogurt container. The little white bowl on top is for weight. Once it was dry, I used the yogurt container as a guide to draw a circle for the brim and cut it out.
I stitched on a band of purple stretch velvet for the hat band, and then attached the flowers. Last I made the lady bug from polymer clay with wires for the legs and antennae.
