Well that should keep us busy for a while!
This was just a plain red witches hat that I picked up for less than £2 a few days ago. I knew I could make it more interesting without it costing a fortune or taking to much time.
I used one of the Jumbo bottle tops that are available from Betty's shop and coloured up Witchy Boo to place inside. I coloured her in red and black to go with the hat. I cut black stars using my big shot and black felt....... it worked like a dream, and stuck them all over. I created a band for the hat and a huge oversized bow and stitched them in place. Zigzaged cut all the ends of the tuile and used my hot glue gun to stick the bottle top to the knot in the bow.
I hope you like the hat..... I did this to show you just how easy it is to make something individual from a mass produced costume accessory. No one else will have one the same. Its just a shame my head is to big for it!!! Fingers crossed it will fit my niece.
Your next stop is number 13, Ginger Paige
Hope you enjoy what everyone has made and don't forget to tell me what you think!
