Once again drawing inspiration from Pinterest for this little project. I had bought a couple of paper mache-ish top hats before the holidays. I never got around to decorating them for Xmas. Plan B: use them for Valentine's Day!
I only have this one finished so far. It's the bigger of the two I bought. I used some vintage sheet music for the top and brim. Wow, what a pain that was!
Then I covered the sheet music in Mod Podge and just sprinkled on some glitter which is hard to see in the photos - but it's there! The lace is actually from a shirt I bought 5 years ago from Newport News. It was sheer and lacey and something I hadn't worn in, well, 5 years. I snipped off some of the bottom and tied it on.
Then I added the LOVE lettering and cupid image (from Etsy). They are not glued on, just kind of tucked in so I can reuse my hat over and over again. I mean, Easter is early this year!
I'm still working on the smaller one - hopefully I can finish it over the weekend.
