Just wanted to share some inspiration with a few hats I’ve made. Mostly for school, but there are a few I still wear out around town
The bonnet was for a construction segment, and my first forray into using Fosshape
The dragon is sort of a 2x hat, because I had to form the skull cap first (a very old style of headdress that is sometimes still used) then building on top of the skullcap with a wire frame, and adding felt onto that frame to make the dragon. The mouth was intended to move with some draw strings, but I couldn’t get it to work in practice
A hat that took me for what felt like forever to make, which is made of a substance called sinamay, and modelled off of a hat Queen Elizabeth II may have worn. The flowers are sized silk (gelatin sizing) and slightly curved using a bit of heat and a mellon baller, with 3 beads in the middle of each flower
This one I did for fun! I wanted to showcase a good use of using scraps. to make hats, and the different kind of vibes you can get. One cottagecore, and one halloween spooky
