Steampunk hat

Grunge paper cut and hole punched


Distress colours used and brushes/cut and dry


Step 3 distressed to look like leather

Well my steampunk day out is getting very close yipppeeeeee. I decided to make my own hat as I have bought so many little bits to wear and I thought I may be up to the challenge, I was thinking steampunk/ crooked old man style. So here it is step by step.
The first part I caut grunge paper to the correct size that I wanted, then I punched holes as I want a lace effect all around the hat. Then I have distressed and screwed up the grunge paper, we all love getting messy and I did. Then I cut sections at the top and bottom as I need to eventually add a hat top and rim. I am going to blog agagin the next step in a few days so watch this space as I am a few days ahead it is looking fab!!! love and bugs xxxxxxx
