I started out with an umbrella hat for this project. I got some felt, pipe cleaners, feather boa’s, and some weird plastic string to add to the hat. The first thing I did was splatter white, blue, and purple paint onto the top of the hat to make it look like space. Then, I hot glued the felt and pipe cleaners on the ridges of the hat. I then hot glued the boa was to the hat, and I tied the strings through small loops at the edge of each ridge. I was going to add lights throughout the inside of the hat, but it proved to be too difficult.
Positives: overall, I think this project was a success. I’m not good at making costumes, so I was initially scared to do this project, but after a bunch of trial and error, I was able to create a final product I was happy with. I especially like the paint splatters, as well as the strings, which make it look more jellyfish like. Negatives: it was really hard to cut the felt, since I don’t have specialty scissors, so the felt on the top of the hat looks a bit rough. The hat also ended up breaking, but I’m not sure if there was any way to prevent that. It’s not the prettiest, but I’m still proud of it.
