Description After a month of working on this hat, I'm finally done!!
It was hand made with love. It's made out of quilt batting, and it was very hard to make it in the triangular shape. I tried to do my best. I used purple velvet for the body of the hat, black & red satin ribbon for the stripes. (I wanted velvet ribbon, but they didn't have any left) & red satin fabric for the sash/ribbon.

I bought most of the materials around Christmas time when Michaels & Jo-anns had their sales, so that saved me ALOT of money. I believe that I spent around 50 dollars for the stuff all together. I've always wanted his hat for my very own, and I even tried to make it as a kid. I epically failed!! Now, after I made an attempt to make it again and succeeded, I can wear this hat to Disneyland the next time we go. Gotta show some Frollo love!!!


NEWS ALERT: I wore this hat to Disneyland on 1-30-11 while I met Frollo. He applauded it, and it got his stamp of approval!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a video of me meeting Frollo, courtesy of the lovely [link]

My good friend can tell you where you can have one made, if you're interested.

It looks good! Hats are not easy, so go you! Yea, I beleive you spent 50 bucks on making it. Hats are not cheap. Did you use a pattern or wing it?

Oh....my.....goodness.... This is beyond amazing! I knew it was going to be good when you showed me a picture of the very early stages. It just already looked amazing then, but now......wow....WOW!!!!! I bow down to you cuz this is the best attempt I have ever seen of this hat. You rock girl!!!

I tried soo hard to make this so authentic!! Some of the stripes are a bit crooked, but there's nothing I can do to change that. The Enesco Frollo figures really helped as 3d models. Phewww, I'm glad that it's finished! Aww, thanks so much for the compliment! You're too sweet!

I'm speechless. It's perfect! I bet the real Frollo would be jealous! Did you hand sew it or did you use a machine?

You should def. go to Disneyland have a one-off with the Frollo there!

Gothic-Sorrow In reply to tobase [2011-01-27 08:11:53 +0000 UTC]

Thank you my dear! It was all hand sewn. I have a sewing machine that I don't know how to use!
I hope Frollo paid his hat maker really well, that thing was difficult!

I'd love to meet Frollo at Disneyland someday. In fact, we went there last Oct to see him, but he wasn't out that day. I was so heartbroken, and my hubby went into all the lil shops trying to see if they had any Frollo stuff. They didn't have anything. It was still a nice trip tho.

tobase In reply to Gothic-Sorrow [2011-01-28 04:57:28 +0000 UTC]

It's ok, it's the same way for me. xD

Since Frollo is pretty flipping rich, I bet he has a billion of those tedious hats. I feel sorry for whoever he commissions, even if they do get paid a hearty sum.

Aw, that figures. HoND was sort of a flop by Disney's standards, so no wonder you don't really see any HoND products around anymore. When my parents took my older sisters to Disney land in '96, my dad said that there was a huge sale of HoND stuff because they were trying to get rid of them ASAP. I wish I was there instead of at home with my grandparents -.-

Gothic-Sorrow In reply to tobase [2011-01-28 07:15:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, HoND wasn't a big box office hit for Disney. The film was also pretty controversial, so no wonder merchandise didn't sell that well. I remember going to Toys R Us as a lil girl and buying all of the action figures. The one character that didn't seem to be selling was Frollo. I remember that they had loads on him on the racks. I guess he wasn't popular with the kids!!

I wish I could have went to DL back then. My first time there was last Oct. Sad, I know!

Guess he was too scary? LOL when I was little I didn't understand him. I was just like "k" to all of his ramblings. But then I watched it again when I was a bit older and then I realized his was a raging perverted rapist. But last year after watching dozens of Youtube Poops about him, I joined the fandom.

Ha ha, it's ok, the first and last time I went there was when I was 10 D: I really want to go again to find Frollo ToT

Haha, I gotta say I personally don't think Frollo's a rapist. He's a old perv for real but he never raped Esme.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh the Frollo youtube poop!!!!!!! One that I've been starting to become fond of is "Frollo opens a Catholic School." It certainly has its moments!!!!!!! What's your fave Frollo poop?

tobase In reply to Gothic-Sorrow [2011-01-29 03:05:40 +0000 UTC]

In the book he's kind of a rapist. D: To me a rapist is anyone who does or imposes one-sided sexual desire on another. Yeah, he's def a perv, though, they even say so in the novel that he had to hide himself from women because he was too horny.

Favorite one? Oh geez, I love them all and I've seen them all like, a billion times. I tried making my own but my movie maker keeps crashing on me. -_-

I'm going by Disney's Frollo, not book Frollo as I became a fan of him first. *shrugs*

I like "Frollo sings to himself and becomes mentally unstable" That one IMO is just too damn funny, so I consider that the best!!!

I get both Frollos mixed up sometimes Dx But honestly, I like Disney's design of Frollo much more. He looks more imposing and villainy and awesome. >:3

That one! LOL I love the ending when he self-destructs. I woke up my parents laughing.

Ohh and the scene when the guard interrupts him and informs him that he spilled his drink. Frollo's face was priceless!!!

Gothic-Sorrow In reply to ArthurCh [2011-01-27 00:38:02 +0000 UTC]

Why thank you!
I made the hat when I was 11, and I'm 25 now. It's looong gone!! It only lasted for a day. It was an old purple towel that I tried safety pinning into a donut shape with my dad's old black socks safety pinned to it for the black stripes. I think the ribbon sash thing was one of my mom's red handkerchiefs. LOL
It wasn't very good!!!
