Crazy Hat for the Weekend

M1XR

As with any modern gent attending a musical gathering this weekend, I wish to acquire a hat of magnifigant proportions or fantasticness. I do not no a local where one could procure such a device in Dublin. It most be of tremendous greatness and fit into a jovial light hearted atmosphere. Some examples shall be provided below. :cool:

To be honest I think it would work best if you did some DIY. You didn't say whereabouts you're based, but for example if you're near/in Dublin, you could go to Carrolls, the souvenir shop. Get something like one of these:

There's other similar hats too there.

Then go to a textiles shop such as Hickey's or the Woolen Mills, or a craft shop like the Art & Hobby shop. Get stuff and attach it to the hat. If you're not too handy with a needle and thread, you can just use glue to stick stuff on. You could buy felt and build the hat up higher, stick coloured feathers on, give it a different shape by building pipe cleaners around it and covering it with felt/material. Takes more effort than just buying one, but you'll be totally original and make it look as crazy as you want.

Kablamo!

I once made a cheese hat out of construction paper for a Mad Hatters Party.
Won a My Little Pony for my efforts.
