Description A cute mini Top hat I just finished designing and making. I know it's not Jewelry but this was the closest description criteria it fit in.

Crafting time: 6+ hours

To be honest putting it together was rather simple. What made putting it together a pain in the ass was hand stitching everything. So many stabs...

Whatever though. For the end result is beautiful. Too bad I didn't care to clear off my ear phones and ipod before taking the pic. I had to rush to work when taking this photo.

The rose might be subtracted from the hat and replaced with other charms, such as a cute little bat, tiny pocket watch, an elaborate cross,or (my personal favorite) a heartagram. I do like the rose but I feel like it might take away from the chain corset I worked so hard on placing there.

For the record, I don't consider myself a Lolita per say. I do have some lolita outfits. Most of which I never wear (With the exception of my "White Rabbit" costume from Kawaii Kon 09). But I do dress lolita VERY RARELY.

Dressing Vampire goth, Visual Kei and Cyber goth is more me then Lolita. Hmmm....what if I combined.....YES! One day I will!

With more inspiration from people who like this hat. I may make more in the future.

It's like a stiff felt. I'm having the hardest time describing it

Simply stitched it in. And note this, In case you decide to make one yourself, Use an industrial needle. Don't wanna break needles like I did

I honestly made this design up out of imagination. All I knew was that I wanted a mini top hat with a chain corset on it

Aww! Love it. I don't know if you should add anything else though. It might look too busy.

Lillum In reply to deoxymelt [2009-08-09 06:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Good point. I was gonna add a bigger rose to the side of the hat so it dosen't take away from the corset in the center but you might be right. I was even debating on putting that first rose there in the first place. I might just leave it as is. Thanks a mil on the comment
