Steampunk Hat

May 26, 2013 19:10

I have committed craft!
And burned one finger with hot glue. Oh well.
The following is a Steampunk Top Hat which I made for my Steampunk costume for Continuum. Which is just as well, it's two weeks away! There are other things I would liked to have made for it, but a top hat, a parasol, a waistcoat and a fob watch are at least minimal things which I do have.

So. The hat.

I can't remember where I got the actual top hat, but I remember it was very cheap for something that didn't look cheap.
The goggles are steampunk goggles I purchased online; I didn't make them myself.
I attached the decorations with hot glue, and I'm embarrassed at how much of the glue shows (it shows even more in the pictures because of the flash). But I didn't want bits falling off either. So there is glue.
The hat is not actually charcoal grey, it's black, it's the flash that makes it look grey. Look, it's hard to take photographs at night! Be glad it was in focus.
