Projects: Card Hat

It’s been a little while now, but I once saw that someone had made a hat out of cards. I thought it looked neat and decided to do the same. But I was far from the professional I am now.

I am not kidding when I say that the hat is being held together by tape and a dream. Hot glue wouldn’t stick to the smooth cards, and stronger glue would take ages to try. So I used tape, and not any kind of tape, but average, household tape. I’m lucky it stuck to the tape. They are not quality cards either. I bought a cheap two pack of cards at my local Action. But they did the trick!

Sticking the chip and dice on was no easy feat either. Even now, the dice keep falling off… I have to glue them back on every so often, though that is not a permanent solution.

The flower on top took a bit of work, but it turned out really pretty in my opinion. I am planning to make a whole bouquet of them. Wouldn’t that look lovely? I am afraid that my poor fingers wil not survive though…
