Thanks to all for your lovely comments. I enjoyed making the hats so much I decided to rustle up some more. I had a round box that came apart and gave me three hat forms. It just happened to be exactly the right size for an adult female head so I just had to cover them and decorate.

The blue one is covered in brocade from a damaged fifties dress and some netting I had to hand. It has no crown so you could wear your hair trailing over the back and it looks like a wide headband and the netting can be drawn back from the face for another look.

The pink one is just fabric gathered in an elastic band to give the pleated look and the rough edges covered with an old broken brooch. Hope you get some ideas from them.
