FELT HAT

Send

A small female hat was born thanks to the ancient Egyptians. It just so happened that it was they who first began to adorn the head with the likeness of a modern headgear. Only kings and queens could wear it, therefore it is not surprising that it was richly decorated with gold, pearls and precious stones. The headdress of the royal people was a genuine work of art, which, however, had a serious drawback - too much weight.
Modern hats are quite light, but no less beautiful and amazing things. So, a small felt hat is a great addition to the image, whether it be a fancy dress, evening dress or outfit for a photo shoot. She always attracts attention and makes the image more mysterious and mysterious. You can create such a hat with your own hands. Ribbons, beads, braid, veil, rhinestones, feathers, flowers, polymer clay jewelry are perfect as ornaments, the flight of imagination is unlimited. The shape of the hat can be given any. The workshop presented below will provide an opportunity to create an exclusive women's hat.
To make a felt hat we need:
1. Felt sheet (the denser it is, the better it keeps its shape).
2. Threads (it’s not necessary to select the tone, in the process they will hide behind the decor, but it’s also not worth taking high-contrast ones).
3. A needle (it’s better to take a small and thin one, it will be easier for her to sew tiny details of a hat).
4. Two flat round objects, for the template (a CD is perfect for hat fields and, in our case, a magnet is for the bottom).
5. Scissors (the sharper they are, the smoother the details of the hat will turn out).
6. Measuring tape.
7. Chalk.
8. Decorations for decor (veil, feathers, semi-pearls, etc.).
With the preparation over, now the manufacturing process itself.
On a section of felt with chalk, we sketch the future fields, the bottom and the tulle.

Carefully cut out and shake off the chalk; in the future this will not be possible.
Sew the tulle to the bottom of the hat, capturing the top layer of felt. Thus, the seams will almost not be visible.

We turn it on the front side, hiding the seams inward.
On the lower edge of the tulle we sew a lace ribbon.

The higher it is, the better it will hide the seam of the tulle with the bottom. The upper seam can be decorated with a satin ribbon, putting it on glue. In our case, it is hidden by a lace ribbon, so there is no need to overload the hat with decor.
Sew on the fields of the cap, also capturing the top layer of felt.

The seam, again, can be hidden behind the decor (ribbon, rhinestones, buttons, etc.).
Folding the veil with an accordion and leaving about 1 cm to the fold, we sew it to the base of the tulle.
We mask the joint of the lace ribbon on the side with a feather, sewing it to the hat.

Then we begin to fantasize, decorating the finished hat in every possible way. Glue a figure to the feather's head, and an artificial semi-pearl on the veil and hat.
You can sew an invisibility, a clip or a hoop to the base of the finished hat. So, after spending just an hour, you can get a unique addition to your outfit.
