My new Hat

My New Hat.
Yes folks, the triangular thing in the picture is my new hat.
It's not the finished article yet but it's come along very nicely and will be finished as soon as I find a lace and make holes in it and put the lace though the holes. The lace ties up will keep my hat on my head.
It's the first hat I have ever made before.
Yvonne says because it's made of paper that rain might ruin it or wind might make it tear when it blows off of my head.
But I told her not to worry as I borrowed lots of these things I made my hat from at.McDonalds.today, along with 10 milk sachets, some stick stirrers and some sugar both white and brown.
I have been using the stick stirrers to practise my chop stick skills. And I look great doing it with my new hat on.
Do you like my hat,

This is impressive work. @moffittjc and I would like to formally invite you to join our Annual New Year’s Eve Hat Competition.
We think you’ve got what it takes, you clearly have a passion for hat-constructing and this is what we attempt to do every year.
We also get super-excited if we can even find other members to join in.
Usually we choose a theme, but I’m thinking.. why not just build off this model right here? Jeff will most likely add something Disney-themed if I know him, I will probably just glam it up with sparkles and New Year’s Eve decor, and Jim, you can just leave it as is.
Or add on!
Then we all take pics wearing our hats, as always, and really nobody wins or loses. We’ve never really had a judge, come to think of it.
We just do it.
You interested? No pressure. You have allll the way to Dec. 31st to decide.
Either way, great work.

@Ineeddentures We want you to join in! We’re gonna copy right off your model here. (If you don’t mind.) Just add some New Yr’s Eve stuff to it and you’re good to go.
Just brainstorm until Christmas. That’s what I’m gonna do.
Let me know if you’d like to see some examples from past competitions. I may still have a few hat pics I’ve designed (from scratch!) on my old computer.
You’ll see how this event works.
It is F-U-N

Tent waterproof spray
Then leave.to dry on towel rail in the bathroom
Hopefully the tent waterproof spray will not destroy the paper

@Ineeddentures You could make a hat with an old garment.

Well it sat on my head!!
It covered my big bald patch
And it will, when it is finished being assembled, tie up under my chin and I will look really cute

How soon until you go into full production? I might want to order a few of those hats, assuming I can afford them after tariffs.

@Ineeddentures Do you give discounts for buying in bulk? I was thinking about ordering 500 of them. And yes, they would probably be tariff-free if you shopped them directly to me.

I think I could sneak the base product to you in quantities of 100 and you could design your own.
Yvonne said why don't we just use them as toilet paper.
Tarrifs free I would think if posted direct to you

Well thanks Heather.
I thought I might sell them.online and start a trend.
Imagine people walking around with that on their heads, tied on with string
These are a few of my favourite things..

You would fit right in with the very young children. You also have stirred up a memory of a Ladies' group where we twisted a molded newspaper into a fancy hat for tea.

It's strange but the school always asked me to go on the trips the nursery school kids went on because the kids thought I was funny
Neighbours here basically told the kids go play with Jim in the garden , so I built them a playpark basically.
Am I childish ?
Or childlike?

It's nice to have a hat,
That impresses the cat.
But that is not the kind to get,
When your head gets all wet.

Now that's pushing it a bit methinks.
Let's see how it does in the rain first and the wind.
I have not perfected how to tie it on to my head yet

Looks like a DIY project. Paper hat may not last long though. You need not make holes. Just stick the ribbon with gum We get what is called FEVI QUICK

I was intending just poking holes in it.
This paper is robust, it's a napkin from McDonalds and I have previously used them as toilet paper

Quite possibly.
I have drawn a diagram on a piece of paper instructing Yvonne where to make the holes.
I hope she does it right or I will have to fold another napkin

Yes it is Eva.
And have you seen the number of people who actually doubt it will function as a hat.
One says I need a punch to punch a hole in it for a ribbon to tie it to my head
I need strong and a pen

I never.thought of that Linda.
I saw these napkins and my first thought was " let's make a hat"
And I have plenty spare parts..
Last time we were in McDonalds I grabbed a lot.

It is a hat.
I had it on my head
Where it sat
Until it fell off lol
I will attach string or a ribbon and then it will be tied on my head .
Hope it doesn't rain if I wear it outside to the shops or in the garden
But here's the best but, I have hundreds of these things, all free of charge from McDonalds

Aye thanks Stacey
That's what I said to Yvonne.
She mocked my hat.
And she told me I must not wear it to the local shop in the morning.
Bah humbug

Ah bu.t if it does get soaked or blown away I have plenty spares I can make other hats with.
My problem is I need strong to make a thong to tie the hat under my chin

I will do.
I cannot find some white string to make a chord to fasten the hat around my chin but I might use another colour chord
