I'm as mad as a hatter!

 

Morning all,

Well this is just a little something I wanted to share with you. Last week was my brother's birthday and it took him forever to decide what he wanted as a present (he has since decided so i've got to go get it) but I hate not having something to open on my birthday - it's the same as christmas; money is all well and good but there's nothing like making a mess with wrapping paper or having something fun to open. So this year I decided to make him a Mad Hatter's Hat, as he loooooooves Tim Burton's - Alice in Wonderland.

I do sometimes wonder why I do this to myself? It's far from the easiest project I've ever done - the concept is easy enough but the elements that make this hat up are much trickier. Anyway this is what I was aiming to reproduce:

And this is what I came up with

It's far from perfect, but not a bad attempt I didn't think? anyway, my brother loved it which was the main thing really but I thought it might entertain some of you to see.

Hope you like it! Have a good day and happy crafting xx
