I hosted a vintage tea party a few weeks ago. I read about it on other blogs and I wanted to have one too. I really do not own any vintage clothes so it took me some time to get an outfit together. I found something that looked like the 50's but to top it off I really wanted a little hat so....I asked my grandma to buy her favorite cheese. ☺ No, its not made out of cheese but out of a cheese box. I do not know if you have something similar in our country but you can really use any round cardboard box to make this hat.
Here we go:
 |
| Here you see I used a small soft cheese box. |
 |
| Cut material out and inch bigger than the box |
 |
| Add glue and set right in the middle |
 |
| Add glue to the side and try to have only a few folds |
 |
| Cut off the access material to the same height of the box |
 |
| A strip of the same material to go around as a border |
 |
| Fold as you can see above. Fold in the sides and fold in half. |
 |
| Sew it on right on the edge then.... |
 |
| Wrap around the border and to give it a smooth border.- Sew |
 |
| To cover up the stitching I sew some feathers. |
 |
| After sewing on the feathers I added a white flower brooch. |
 |
| Here you see I close up look |

ReplyDeleteThank you! It was pretty simple to make. ☺ With help of google images and the material I had available...this was created. ☺
DeleteHow creative!!! I don't have a creative bone in my body!
ReplyDeleteSO glad to find someone else who makes hats out of findings (a.k.a cardboard) :)

Hahaha...gotta use what you got! :) Thank you for the compliments.
DeleteOh I love this one too! This would be great or making costumes (I work in a High School Theater Dept.). Also fun for a craft for my daughter.
