This green and tiny painted hat with bronze highlights is upcycled from re-purposed trash and salvaged junk. Its small round base is crowned by a bouquet of handmade flowers and fabric leaves. The silly, striped green and white tiny hatband makes this one-of-a-kind, whimsical hat perfect for a goddess embracing the wacky feminine by clowning around in her garden. Secure to hair or a wig with bobby pins through lace loops.
Green Flower Upcycled Tiny Painted Hat
This Shamrock green painted hat with bronze highlights is a tiny and lightweight whimsical art headpiece that is sure to bring good luck. It was created from a plastic bowl, an egg carton, a wreath, and scrap fabric, that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. The base and the flower bouquet I handpainted, inside and out, with acrylic paints and the small fascinator has been lacquered multiple times, making it water and scratch-resistant.* The green and white headband is scrap fabric from a sexy pirate wench skirt I am making. Cock at a slight angle and secure it to your hair, wig, or even a knit cap with crisscrossing bobby pins** slipped through the green loops.

*Care:
Handle with care. Hold hat sides, NOT by the brim or flowers.
Clean with a feather duster or spot clean gently with a soft cotton or bamboo rag and a drop of water. No chemicals, abrasive materials, or sharply pointed metals.While this hat is lacquered and water-resistant, it is not necessarily waterproof. Cover it if caught in the rain or when near misters. If it does get wet, gently shake off water droplets, pat it with a tea towel, and set it to dry in the sunshine or in front of a fan on a low setting.
Store in a dry place.
Styling Ideas:
Looks great alone with hair twisted up into a sloppy bun or, worn on top of a colorful wig, or a feathered or knit cap
Keep the silly look simple with a solid or nature-patterned green dress, pantsuit, or costume
For more dramatic occasions, pair it up with one of my upcycled festival skirts or a piece of upcycled jewelry
