Forever in Black Elphaba Mini Witch Hat

It’s that time of year when I’m making mini witch hats!

This is the smallest size I make. The crown is 6″/15cm tall, and the brim is 6″/15cm across in both directions.

Elphaba is made from black velvet with a black satin trimmed brim. I added a lime green lace skeleton hand (I make these on my embroidery machine), lime green bow, lime green and black ostrich feathers, and a thin trail of black net.

I supply these with a narrow black or white hairband with a comb for added security.

These hats are made from scratch – I start with buckram and wire, form the hat, then cover it with fabric and trim it. They are lightweight but sturdy and perfect if you want to wear them over and over again – and who wouldn’t!

The final picture shows the mini hats on a model (me) as a sizing guide.
