Mad for Hats? Welcome to Mad Hat Day

 Welcome to Debi's

Mad Hat Blog Party!

Mad for Hats?

Make your own!

I found a wonderful pattern for 

doll-sized decorative hats on 

A Field Journal.

I love the pattern, 

but I don't use it for my dolls

because it's not  for commercial use,

which is fair.

But when I got an opportunity

to use the pattern for a Mad Hat

I was so excited!

Here is my 

Mad Hatter Mad Hat!

I took the basic pattern

and loaded up Tenniel's illustrations

into the crown and brim.

I then printed  it out on cardstock

and cut it out and glued it together.

Done!

(Original hat design  on A Field Journal )

I don't know if this image will print for you.

If not, you'll have to try the original blank

version on

A Field Journal.

But once you have the basic shape, 

you could print out the design on any 

coloured or pattered thin card.

The hat was done and ready for the best bit.

Trimming!

An Alice-style talking flower.

A lacy brim

(This is one of those fancy laser-cut

cupcake holders)

Ribbons and braid.

Anna Lee models for you.

A raven's feather.

(Because they're like a writing desk...)

Thank you so much, Debi,

for this fun party!

Back later to see everyone's hats.
