Wondrous Witch Hat!

Warning!!! Picture overkill, I was camera happy with this one!


I'm so please with how this witch hat turned out!

I started with a hat from the dollar store and a child's halloween skirt, also from the dollar store.


I used a seam ripper (scissors would work just as well) and separated the seam on the skirt.


Then (still using the seam ripper) I separated the orange tule from the rest of the skirt.


So Pretty!


I hot glued the orange tule to the brim of the hat. 
I also seperated the black tule and cut it into strips about 1 foot wide and folded them (or bunched them!) to about 3" wide and hot glued them (I ended up with about 5 separate pieces), evenly spaced, around the brim of the hat.


With the rest of the material I cut it into 2" strips and rolled the fabric into rosettes to attach to the brim of the hat.


I cut 1 1/2 inch strips of scrapbook paper in different designs and curled it with a pencil and attached to the hat with hot glue in several spots.


I also had some halloween chip board pieces that I picked up last year on clearance at Michaels. These came in handy for decorating the hat.


Here is the result of my camera happiness!






...and then I added a couple of buttons.


...and then I got super camera happy!
