The 3 green and aqua flowers topping this whimsical art tiny painted hat, are made from egg cartons. They are highlighted with pearlized white shimmer. The base is a small plastic bowl painted inside and out. The paints are acrylic and the entire hat has been lacquered multiple times.  The forest and aqua chiffon is ribbon is a seam scrap. And the green lace loops, for bobby pins that hold the hat on your head, I dug out of my mama's ribbon box.

Care:

Hold sides of the bowl not the brim or the flowers. Wipe off with a light touch. No abrasive materials. Store in a dry place.

 

While this hat is lacquered and water-resistant, it is not necessarily waterproof. Remove and cover it if caught in the rain or when near misters. If it does get wet, gently shake off water droplets, pat with a tea towel, and set it in the sunshine or in front of a fan to dry.

 

Styling Ideas:

Looks great alone or over a colorful or powdered wig or a feathered cap

Keep the silly look simple with a solid or colorful dress, pantsuit, or costume
 

For more dramatic occasions, pair it up with one of my upcycled festival skirts or a piece of upcycled jewelry
