[@maanaimak]

Thanks so much! the glue sollution work also on a crocheted fascinator tophat i made, great tip!

[@LaraSchilling]

@trashtastika It's very clever to use dreads as a trim ;) And yes, I posted this tut on he hair boards and dread to be different. The girls like lil tuts like this!

[@pacertmh]

love your easy going tutorial, fun & almost makes me think I could do it!!! on to part 2

[@LaraSchilling]

Roving hats :D GENIUS! Totally going on Hair Extensions Forum! Jane from Jungle Dread has made fascinators out of roving dreads, it's pretty awesome :)

[@Music_Lover0612]

I really like your eye make-up.

[@KatHazelton]

Also great hair!!!

[@wolfix75694]

Where did you get that hat block and stand? I've been looking at websites And can't seem to find it.

[@maqsizu]

I love yhis Video, many thanks to You. zelia

[@lastgirlonthemoon]

This is so helpful! I will try this asap and send pix!

[@awoniyibukolafunke6774]

Weldone ma'am,please how can I get this felt material.

[@trashtastika]

@DagGirl Thanks! But the cocktail shape was made the traditional way - blocked in felt - then the dreads were added as trim or decoration only. BTW, I keep getting visitors on my blog from the hair forum, which is nice - do you know if there's a pic or link of me on there? I haven't posted there in years, you see, so I'm wondering how people are finding me :)

[@rongtang4067]

I love her hair! :3

[@sweetcherritree]

Fantastic tutorial! ~TFS, Tree

[@korynnininm]

Love the hair!

[@Proverbs31womann]

Hi, love your video. Can I use polyester and rayon felts to make hats?

[@trashtastika]

No, it has to be a natural fibre, either sheep wool or other wool from animals (even beaver, would you believe?)

[@Twistfashion]

This is great, thank you very much!!

[@Petipulpul]

great hair color!

[@KatHazelton]

Totally cool tutorial :-)

[@trashtastika]

@DagGirl oh cool! Thanks!! Geez, I'd better hurry up and finish part 2 - gotta wire the hat and decorate it (& film myself doing so). I should link to your tute on roving dreads also, cos it's very practical, and I never filmed myself when I used to make them :)

[@quoV11]

Beautiful

[@SharonVeeLee]

Would it be possible to use this technique to make top hats and such?

[@trashtastika]

Yes! I have done so. You need the correct blocks though, obviously :)

[@pamelagahan5601]

What is your block made of that you can put pins into please

[@trashtastika]

HI Pamela, it's wood. I should've protected it with plastic wrap before I did all this though :)

[@pamelagahan5601]

@@trashtastika Thank you for letting me know. I am a beginner.

[@Rodrasroom]

where did you get the hat block that you used?

[@maqsizu]

Would You please, can let me know where to buy the wood material?, ... Thanks again, zelia

[@rebecasuarezcarrera2479]

Hola. Alguien me podria decir que apresto utilizar para endurecer el sinamay?. Muchas gracias. Un saludo.

[@springgraves7620]

Love the hat! How did you make the felt acessories ? they are awesum

[@trashtastika]

Thanks Spring Graves! They are what is called roving dreads - we goth and alternative girlies often make them to install on our heads as fake dreadlocks. I never got around to making a tutorial on those, but my mate Lara has, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ-Vq2OCr8pkbqM - take a look!

[@trashtastika]

@DagGirl Sure!

[@KatlynCurtt]

thats felt or thermo felt?

[@trashtastika]

Natural fibre felts only, wool felt. The polyester ones don't have the correct properties.

[@lindathrall5133]

I WISH I COULD FIND SOMEONE TO MAKE THE FLAT TOP HAT AND A CAP

[@JeanetteMcqueen]

i love your hair :D

[@lilithfrida2117]

Can you use burlap for this?

[@trashtastika]

Ana Biernacki Hi there Ana. You could use a milliner's buckram - which already has a stiffener in it. Burlap would only keep its shape and structure if you put some kind of stiffener on it, while it's on the block or form. Or there are some sprays that are like hair spray, that you spray on the fabric to keep its stiffness and shape. Have a look here for some different types: www.hatsupply.com/sizingstiffeners.htm Be aware that the fumes of some are toxic, and your work area must be well ventilated :) Good luck with it, and let me know how you go!

[@lilithfrida2117]

Thanks! :D
