Happy Easter/Resurrection Sunday (eve) Krafters!
After you read this, you may think of me differently. Perhaps
some of you can relate. Growing up, on Easter Sunday my mom would make me dress
in a frilly dress, gloves, patent leather shoes, and a hat. Ugh, I strongly, on
the verge of hated when Easter came around. I mean, it was bad enough going to
an overcrowded church but to be uncomfortable too...that was too much! Then to
add insult to injury after sweating out my freshly pressed hair, I had hat hair
when I was able to FINALLY take off that hat! I think out of everything, the
hat was the thing I could not tolerate. I did however like to have my hair down
:)
As I was looking through the Silhouette Store, I saw the
Easter Hat Box. I actually cringed. Then I had a thought, I could make it and
give it to my mom as a "prank" because she knows how I feel about hats. I purchased it and
this is what I came up with.
I used plain card stock for the base of the hat. I inked the
edged of the scalloped edge. The hat assembled a little wonky, so to hide that,
I used tulle and added pearls to the base and top of the hat. To embellish, I
kept it simple. I added a piece of pink frayed rosette. I also add two yellow
roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. To finish it off, I added a feather. What do you think?
The paper hat is not so bad. Perhaps I am being healed in
the area of hat hating? I can tell you one thing, on Easter Sunday, I stick to
the meaning of the day and fellowship with my family afterwards (that is what I
LOVE about Easter aside for the true meaning behind it). Although mom is trying
her hardest to get my girls into those dresses LOL...but no hats!!! What is
your favorite or least favorite Easter memory?
I hope you enjoyed today's Project! Have a great weekend
everyone...until next time, Krafthead~
