What You'll Need

Instructions

Starting with your top hat, use your ruler to measure 3 inches from the top front of the hat (not including the brim) toward the back. This is roughly the center of your hat.
Using your Exacto knife and ruler as a guide, make a cut along that centerline from side to side.
At each edge, cut down the side of the hat about 1.5 inches.
Optional: We had lots of craft ribbon available so we added a brim to the base of the hat. Should you choose to do this, use your ribbon to measure the base of the hat. Measure about an inch more than is necessary. Using your glue (we prefer a hot glue gun) secure your ribbon to the hat with the seam at the back.
Place your beads on the brim of the hat and put a dollop of glue at the back to secure the beads in place.
Determine where you would like to have the small stars placed on the brim. In the ridge of the brim, cut a small notch in which the foot of the star could fit.
(If you need to transport your centerpieces to a venue, this is where we recommend you stop construction)
Pair your large star and your 25 crest together and slide into the large notch you created on the top of the hat.
Place the inner foot of each small star in the small notch in the brim of the hat. Adjust the rotation of the small star for the angle you would like.
