New Year's Eve Hats!

 Happy New Year 2021! We wore paper crowns at our celebration. I designed my crown with sewing in mind. I used yarn to make stitches on the border. I glued on some buttons and pictures of quilt blocks.


Why do I make hats for New Year's Eve?  This tradition started 3 years ago when we were home by ourselves for New Year's Eve. We were not going anywhere or having anyone over to our house. On top of that Mr. In The Mid-west was working that night. I wanted our supper to be a little festive. I thought if I made paper party hats for everyone we would have more fun! :) And it was more fun! It is a tradition I would like to keep.

The First New Year's Hats


Last year I learned about fascinators. Fascinator definitiona woman's light, decorative headpiece consisting of feathers, flowers, beads, etc. attached to a comb or hair clip. They are so pretty! I wish I could incorporate them into daily attire. For New Year's Eve 2020 I made a GIGANTIC fascinator out of a paper flower. If anyone would like a good tutorial on how to make paper flowers HERE is one I recommend.

Those are very cute! What a fun idea! I'll keep this in mind for next New Years...or maybe make some for Valentine's too.

Thank you for the comment, Cindy! Doing something like this for Valentine's Day would be fun, too!
