I loved seeing all the fabulous hat creations from the Royal Wedding. So, this week when I received the invitation to a Derby Party, I knew that I had to wear a cool hat. I really don't know where I would go to buy a hat so I chose to make one myself. I went with the "fascinator"style which, as described by wikipedia is, "a delicate, slightly-to-very frivolous head decoration worn almost exclusively by women."
How I made my hat:
- Covered a headband with pink grograin ribbon.
- Rolled orange meshy fabric (it's stiffer than tulle and the holes are larger.)
- Sewed the orange fabric together
- Sewed the pink flower to the orange fabric
- Attached big green leaf to headband with florist tape
- Attached the orange fabric to headband with hot glue (and sewed a little just to be safe)
That's it!
It was fun seeing the other hats at the party. I might be a little obsessed with hats now. Or, shall I say, fascinators?
Thanks for stopping by the blog today. I'm still working on the pictures of our Royal Wedding Feast. 3 o'clock in the morning isn't the best time to take photos. LOL.
