Made a while ago, but I love my witchy hat/fascinator/headband!
It started with a chipboard dragon…I had to do a little surgery to take these fantastic wing shapes.

I gave them some veining texture with puffy paint, and then modge podged black tissue paper over it for the delicate texture akin to a wrinkly skin.

Then started forming the hat cone shape and the flat brim from some 12 x 12 cardstock paper (with iridescent skulls, very spooky).
Then assemble (I guess I skipped documenting that here. Hot glue is your friend).
Close up of the eye.

Your fascinator is really fun. Where did you find that eye??? It’s so big! ![:flushed: :flushed:](https://forum.lettucecraft.com/images/emoji/apple/flushed.png?v=12)
I’m pretty sure I bought a whole bunch of them off Amazon. I think it’s the standard size.
