This is my beautiful poupée! I haven't named her yet. Cristina de Prada who writes the fantastic blog
"The Rantings of a Mad Hatter Wannabe" sent her to me along with her brother Joaquin. I love both of them!! What a treat a beautiful poupée and a dude with swag. Who could ask for more? Oh yeah, I could ask for more.. Cristina and Peter here too. Luv!!!
Here's how to make a fast and simple Figure 8 clamp style hat. The Photos are what they are I used my iPhone.
List of supplies:
32" of spring wire, 1 wire joiner, 32 1/2" of Fabric Tubing ( or I made felt tubing from a felt rounding), Trim.
 |
I measured 32"spring wire and attached the joiner on one end |
|
|
 |
I sewed a tube from an old felt rounding using the guide. |
 |
The wire was threaded through the felt tubing. The wire was joined with the joiner and the ends sewn together. |
|
 |
Twist the round covered wire into an 8 shape. It will make a clicking noise. Pin where you want the Hinge to the clamp to be. |
 |
Sew the connection together |
 |
I added a 1 1/2"x 1" piece of felt to cover the connection |
 |
Bad Photo..Deal |
 |
Finished and........ |
 |
clamped on my Beautiful Poupée |
 |
I trimmed it with a vintage berry vine |
 |
Done. |

Yeah, She's Cute. |
