I'm a real sucker for anything hat-shaped and tiny, so I got quite excited when I saw a cute mini top hat on Etsy earlier today. Now, the thing about hats is that the smaller they are, the more people will pay for them. And there's only one answer to that of course: make your own!
So I scoured various Gothic Lolita and Burlesque sites hoping to find simple instructions on making a mini hat. They were surprisingly few and far between, but eventually I found a great little tutorial here. To make a hat using these instructions you'll need stiff craft felt, scissors, needle and thread, a gluegun, a ruler and your choice of decorations. This is where the fun part starts!
