Altered Straw Hat.... F

Hello people of blog world

Today I have for you an altered straw hat as my DT entry for CRAFTY RIBBONS challenge of ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON this week.  I will just list the items used.

Original hat

Painted hat 

Hat covered in bridal lace the top caved in with paint but pushed it back into shape lol

I used lots of my hand made flowers (no shop bought ones on this beauty lol) and Bridal lace from my wedding dress (the hem). The velvet ric rac trim and cream silk ribbon are from CRAFTY RIBBONS.  A lot of stringed pearls (old necklace recycled) , tiny pearl string and 3 large marabou feathers.  

I do hope you like the copious amount of pics - SORRY X





 









Once again I do apologise for the overload of pics but I just could not make my mind up which ones to choose for showing lol.

Anyway I do hope you have enjoyed your visit today and I hope I have inspired you all to join in with the current challenge over at CRAFTY RIBBONS this week.

You have to be innit to winnit!

Hugz and love always
