I'm a hat newb too, and I think your hats are darling! I especially like the teal hat with the black lace and feathers as trim. So pretty!
And I'm impressed that you're making your own hat bases! You're a few steps ahead of me...I just go into the doll-accessory department at Hobby Lobby, buy blank doll hats, and decorate them however I want. I'm thinking about making my own hats from scratch, though, so I can choose whatever colors I want and I'm not limited to the colors and shapes that the store has.

Thank you so much
biggrin that's my favourite one as well, I love the bright colours.

I actually never considered buying premade hats to decorate, lol. These are for costumes, so I"m not sure if doll hats would be the right size anyways.
It's a lot of fun making them from scratch, though I need to learn my way around the hot glue gun a little better, haha, I keep burning myself. :T I'll post some more photos soon, I've almost perfected them! Glue doesn't pop over the top of the hat anymore! So proud!
