Mini Top Hats make me feel pretty!

Hello folks!

I'm slacking again on the blogs! lol...ah well, I'm busy working...and crafting!

This post is about a mini top hat that I made.  My friend has been coming over to craft with me and last week she put up a challenge for both of us to do.  The challenge was to make a mini top hat.  So with the challenge posed, we used the video below from ThreadBanger as a guide to make our own hats.

I forgot to take pictures of the process, but I basically did the steps that the woman in the video took minus the feathers and lace.  What I did with mine was made a corset out of a satin fabric that I had and used a ribbon to lace it up.

Isn't it cute?!

I had to redo the top of my hat because the glue that I used for the bias tape (the black material around the brim and the top of the hat) originally, made a huge mess and was staining the purple satin.  I made another top piece and just used a hot glue gun and it worked much better as you can see :).

Here is a pic of me wearing it:

I love it!

I think it turned out really well! (Ignore my reading glasses, I was wearing them while I was crafting so I didn't strain my eyes).  It's really floppy though, so I think I'm going to put a small piece of fabric on one, or maybe both sides so that I can put a bobby pin in to secure it better.

Hope you enjoyed seeing my final product, even though I didn't have any process pictures!  Have you ever done anything like this? I would love to see pictures of them if you have!
