Steps To Make A Girls' Flapper Hat

A flapper hat often features a feather or other embellishment.


In the roaring '20s, many women dressed up in flapper hats and sequined and fringed dresses to visit speakeasies where they danced all night to jazz music. Duplicating a flapper costume is not complicated and is relatively inexpensive. One of the most important features is the flapper hat, which that gives a girl a carefree and jaunty look. A flapper hat is perfect for a girl of any age to wear to a masquerade or Halloween party or a dance recital.


Instructions


1. Cover the work surface with an old towel or newspaper.


2. Lay the elastic fabric headband flat on the work surface. Coordinate the color of the headband to your dress or hair color if possible.


3. Glue the end of the feather to one section of the elastic fabric headband with the hot glue gun.


4. Place several sequins near the headband. Squeeze the hot glue over the end of the feather so that you have a swirl that is approximately the size of a quarter coin. Sprinkle the sequins onto the hot glue before it dries. It is important to work quickly.


5. Another idea is to glue a large faux gem to cover the end of the feather. Allow the glue to cool for about 60 seconds before slipping the headband around your forehead.


6. Position the headband so it is directly above your eyebrows and the feather is facing up on one side of your head.
