Crack open and up, wearing this painted hat upcycled from kitchen trash. An aqua, green, and pink flower bouquet made with egg carton cups, crowns a berry carton painted aqua with egg white-like drippings. More painted flowers encircle the small hat. A satin headband painted pink makes the whimsical fascinator easy to remove when getting in your car. It is fixed at a dramatic angle so a perfectly coiffed crowning is assured, even without the aid of a mirror.

All are painted with acrylic or enamel paints, are lacquered, and are water-resistant.* The kelly, olive. forest and lime greens, and baby & aqua blue flowers have white and metallic gold highlights and glossy or metallic paint centers. The leaves are metallic gold. The base is aqua and pink with a wash of white paint drippings. The interior and the openings in the berry carton are aqua.

    Care:

    Hold both sides of the headband to put on and take off. When holding otherwise, it is best to hold it by the berry carton rather than the headband.*

     

    While this hat is lacquered and water-resistant, it is not necessarily waterproof. Remove and cover it if caught in the rain or when near misters. If it does get wet, gently shake off water droplets, pat with a tea towel, and set it in the sunshine or in front of a fan to dry.

     

    Styling Ideas:

    Looks great alone or over a colorful or powdered wig or a feathered cap

    Keep the silly look simple with a solid or colorful dress, pantsuit, or costume
     

    For more dramatic occasions, pair it up with one of my upcycled festival skirts or a piece of upcycled jewelry
