In a previous post (see Of Bjd Fashion: The Fall Fashion Show), I did say I would make a tutorial for the witch hat I made for Hikaru for Halloween this year. Well, it's a few days later then I intended, but it's finally ready. Just don't tell Hikaru it was up so late.
Mini Witch Hat For Dolls Tutorial
Materials needed:
- Fabric Scraps
- Ribbon
- Tulle Scraps (optional)
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Need and thread
- Jewelry wire
- Your doll
You will need to use the wire and ribbon to make a plain headband for your doll. Here's my doll headband video tutorial. If you already have a headband handy, then continue on.
Cut your fabric into a circle. It should be about twice the size of your hat brim, whatever size you want it to be. Don't worry if your edge is a little jagged or off.
With your needle and thread, proceed to sew and gather the edge of the fabric into the center to form a rosette (aka a fabric yoyo). Here's a good video tutorial for fabric yoyos if you need a little more help.
Now cut another circle about the same size. This will be the top of the hat.
Fold the circle in half. Add some glue to keep it folded.
Fold the side of the half circle down as pictured.
Fold the other side over the part you just folded, then glue in place to form a triangle.
Open up the bottom for a nice cone shape, and it's ready to attach to the brim.
Glue the cone to the center of the rosette, and now you have your basic mini hat.
To decorate, I wrapped a strip of tulle around the brim, twisting it as I glued it down.
Then I glued on a piece of thin ribbon.
You can add other embellishments too like flowers and bows.
After decorating, just glue the hat to your headband. It helps to try it on your doll before gluing to get it at just the right angle.

Pleasant comments are always welcome and appreciated.
But please, no anti-doll comments. They are unnecessary and a bit rude. We understand that some people find dolls creepy or weird, but this is a "doll blog" that is intended for those who enjoy dolls. If you dislike dolls that much, don't waste your time reading doll blogs.
