Not sure if you watch Saturday Night Live, but there was a skit I LOVED about tiny hats. I got to thinking and decided it was time to attempt a tiny hat DIY. I have finally found a reason to use all of the plastic lids I've been saving for the past 3 years. Now If I can just find an occasion to wear them!
Victorian all the way!
This is probably just a bit bigger than actual size on your computer!
Here's the HOW TO video!
You'll need
Krylon Fusion in Black (it works well on plastics)
Netting (Tulle)
Scissors
Cereal cardboard
Bobby pins
Plastic lids
Feathers
Small ribbon flowers
Ribbon
Hot glue gun
Cut out circles for the brim of your hat. About 1/4" to 3/8" larger than the circumference of your lid.
Glue the lids to the center of the cardboard circles.
Spray paint them black and let them dry.
Hot glue ribbon around the base of the lids.
Scrunch up a small amount of netting (about a 3" by 4" piece) and hot glue it to the seam of the ribbon.
Glue a ribbon flower on top of the tulle.
Glue a bobby pin to the underside of the hat.
You're done!
