Quick questions: How wide is everyone making the Hatter Hat scarf, does anyone have a really good shot of the flowers painted on, and how is everyone attaching the spools to the chain? Thanks!

 

[swifty]

Well fella i used paper clip to join the spools between the chain !!!
as for the hat i have made it out of cloth that i have stuck a layer of netting over then painted it in brown then a little green than dry brushed over a little gold the out come is really good and not to be past up its cheap and easy !!! the scarf round the hat i have used a pink scarf i had !! not sure how long it is though !!! hope this helps

I made my scarf about six inches wide, but I probably could have made it about eight inches so it would have draped a little better. Here is a photo that I've used as reference for the flowers...

For the spools for me, I just used 2 and 1/2" pieces of jewelry wire to run through my spools and then I bent the ends around the chain.

Hope that helps

Thanks Keli! That's one of the few direct flower pics I can find....I just wish there was a shot of the full pattern. Oh well I'll keep looking, and screen capping!

I like it, but it kinnda looks like the Wild West meets Underland... The brim needs to be cut down a bit dude... and the hat pins should be brought around closer to the front. The shape is good though. Did you do the posterboard method?

I did my scarf 8 inches wide and 6 feet long. Still need to embroider it though. THAT is gonna take some time.

For the spools i simply used the leftover chain I had and it worked good for me.

I dug around the pictures I had on my hard-drive and found a few more that might help you out with the design. There is also a couple of flowers on the upper part of the scarf that wraps around the hat itself...

 

[swifty]

[TinDan]

You're welcome. . I need to start painting flowers this weekend too.

And Swifty, what exactly are you referring to? If you're speaking about the flowers on the scarf, I plan on painting those with acrylic paints by myself. Need to put my two years of Commercial Art studies to use somehow

Hey kids! From experience may I recommend using fabric paint....! Be sure to put something on the backside of your scarf when you start the painting process. This way the paint won't run through the material.

Just a very important FYI! The images of the hat scarf from SDCC 2009 are backwards from the images from D23 later in the year.

D23 2009 picture: I would use this version.

Is the D23 image just a pic of the hat on a poster? or was the actual hat at D23? I went to D23 specifically thinking the Alice installation would be there but it wasn't. I asked around if there was an Alice exhibit, but didn't see one, just a sorry "tea party" table with cast members in horrible costumes. Well there wasn't much to see there anyway. i was SO disappointed. Frankly, it was whack.

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

No the hat was actually displayed at D23.

 

[acosplaylife4me]

Where was it?

 

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

Not too sure of the location but here are more pics!
