A painted fascinator hat with a green, pink, and aqua flower bouquet upcycled from berry and egg cartons on a headband
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.

  • The painted egg carton flowers and leaves, the berry carton base, and the toilet paper roll used to fix this whimsical painted fascinator to the headband are all made of repurposed pulped paper... trash that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. 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.
