New Items for my Etsy Shops

Alright,  I guess I'm just having too much fun creating little hats.  Here is my newest mini.  This one is attached to a headband and is adjustable so that it can be worn either on top of the head or the left or right side depending on how you like it.  

The back has been embellished with a large pink jewel and centered in

shades of pink ribbon to give the back a splash of color.

This adorable mini hat has a silver headband and has been

embellished with a black rose and feather.  It is 5.5" by 5" tall which includes the height of the feather.

This hat fastens to your hair with a sturdy metal clip which is attached to the bottom of the hat.

I also have been busy creating some polymer clay matchboxes.  This one is ready to add to my Etsy shop.  I covered it with polymer clay and embellished it with a beautiful cross.  The inside has an embossed design on hard card stock. Matchboxes are perfect to hold small items  ~ such as mints, pills, guitar picks or it could even hold a small sewing kit.  

Mini Felt Hat

  

I had a week of being under the weather and while I was recuperating 

I decided to try my hand at creating a mini felt hat. Figuring out

 a pattern was a bit of a bummer, but in saying that, 

I was pleased with the outcome.  

I pinked the edges of the brim, which I wish now I hadn't.  Next time I will just make a plain cut.  I used a headband for the hatband and a pre-made flower for the embellishment.
Then I thought it needed one more thing and came across this little feather.
How fun it was to create something different.
