Send In The Clowns

Just getting ready for Halloweeeeeeeeen !

      What You Need For this Nifty Clown Hat...

 1.   Kewl scrap booking paper of your choice
 2.   Matte Medium , I use this for glue . I suppose Elmers would do just fine.
 3.   Hot Glue Gun
 4.   Scissors
 5.   Tulle ( a long piece ) color of your choice
 6.   Flowers , Feathers , Ribbon optional   :)
 7.   I didn't really need the clothspins as much as I thought.
 8.  also need a little piece of elastic  ( I forgot)

     I personally like the papers that look  "circusy"  ( makin up words again )  for this project. I went with the  Polka Dots because Polka Dots are the Bee's Knees. I really like this kind of paper , it's called lost and found at Hobby Lobby and it's thick like card stock.

Now Rolly Polly and pretend like you are making a Waffle Cone..

    Nom Nom Nom Waffle Cone.....

        Secure with a dab of  Hot Glue here... and then go like this

                more Hot Glue .....

                and then I was all like ..

    put some Hot Glue on the inside crease to secure it more  :)  Let it dry for about as long as it takes you to make Guacamole ... and then eat some Guacamole .

 

 Cut off the excess and keep trimming it until it is as small as you like. I made mine kind of angled because it sits on my head better..

 

 get it to stay on with elastic , thanks to Granny Cloud who gives me crafty stuff all the time , I had an elastic stash ! Grannies are so awesome..

          I used the smallest so I don't have a huge ugly strap on my chin.
 

         Not unlike a child's Birthday Party Hat.

make sure you use a nice long piece of tulle to go all the way around , prolly about 3-4 times the circumference of the hat .

            Glue , Twist Half  Way , Fluff , Glue ... etc. etc.

 

 

Wallah ! 

    Now add whatever you want to it   :)  Maybe a Feather .....

                Or Two , whatever tickles your Clown Hat fancy.. 

I think a cute variation of this would be a tall Princess Hat with Ribbons Streaming out of the top . That would be a super cute and fun thing to do for a little girls Birthday Party  :) and I like to make them for dolls

                  YaY !!!
