Trial and Error

I am getting worried that I might not survive this Halloween season. It is supposed to be a fun time of year, right? Instead I am dealing with cosutmes that require WAY to much trial and error. Here is the first not-able-to-find-a-tutorial-ANYWHERE costume challenge: the hat.


Version 1:


Not quite what I had in mind. . .



Version 2:


Close, but not quite there. . .


Final:

Much better! Still not perfect-- but it will work for one night. Whew! Finally. Now, I just need to make 5 more. . . (I told you I was crazy!) Now, if only I hadn't used all my supplies and time on un-usable trials.


The next challenge: the boot. Wish me luck!

    Good luck! All the hats look great, but I love the last one the best. Of course the cute model helps too :)
