DIY Mushroom Hat ✦ Recycled Materials

[@natasharose]

I made a printable pattern for the hat! natasharosediy.etsy.com/listing/1719031966 Thanks for your patience, it took me a while to learn how to make a digital pattern in Illustrator. :)

Has anyone bought from this before because I don’t want to be scammed

Hi! Which paper dimensions did u use for printing the pattern?

[@meghansullivan1062]

Hey guys the diameter is roughly 13 inches if u split it in 4 sections there should be 4 pieces pof cardboard to glue in each section its a lil off but I did a cut every 4 inches and made the slit about an inch wide do 2 sets of slits one being smaller then the other so example big, small, big, small, etc. I made 4 trying to get measurements I saw some of you were having same issue first one I made looked like a lily pad

[@Grapeegrapee]

So its like 30 cm? thats pretty small,,, ru sure?

[@blue5740]

@@Grapeegrapee I saw a comment from the creator saying the circle was 70cm in diameter

[@DrRippenShitten]

@@blue5740 I believe they mixed up diameter and radius. At a radius of 13/14 inches it would be approx 65/70cm diameter respectively. I have one im making that's 12 inches radius and that comes to about 60cm

[@blue5740]

@@DrRippenShitten that makes sense ! =]

[@Im-One-Drawer-Out-Of-Many]

@DrRippenShitten Diameter is double the radius so the radius will be around 32.5/35 so ye your correct. Well done :D

Amazing! I especially love the creative way of making the gills out of lace and the pretty dew drops.

Love your hat !!! 1:28 Or, you can also do the following : 1.) Measure your head. 2.) Inflate balloon. 3.) Wrap measuring tape around balloon 4) Release air slowly until you reach the desired size. Best balloons are high quality pear shaped. Paper Mache the balloon's upper half. Trim dried shell. The resulting shell / scull cap is so comfortable you'll forget you're even wearing a hat! An added plus is people think you're crazy and with any luck will leave you alone and depart from your personal space.

[@aceoftrades9436]

I love this tutorial! I plan on using this to make several mushroom hats for my friends. Mine will be a pixies parasol, and my friends will have an inky cap and a ghost fungus!

I got invited to a Halloween party by this girl I have a crush on, and her only request was that I wear a costume. Now I know what I'm gonna wear!! Wish me luck ✌️✌️ Update as of 11/9: Ok so bad and good news. Bad news: I had strep the week of her party so I couldn't go and show off my dope mushroom costume. Good news: she was bummed about it and invited me to a uni volleyball game the week after where costumes were encouraged, and it was just the two of us 😳😳 We haven't gotten together officially or talked about it, but tbh I'm just glad I got to hang out with her and get to know her better. I think if she decides to stay in my town after graduation I'll ask her out and just hope for the best🤞🤞

[@queercookie2877]

Sooo, did the costume work out?

[@JesseDanielle]

How’d it go!?!

[@briannaprieto3043]

You better not leave us in suspense

[@ghoultooth]

Fingers crossed for you guys ❤

[@gryffindorranger7428]

Did she stay?

[@mr_stealyour.gur1]

Going to be making this over the next few weeks for Halloween! I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes, my thoughts, and concerns!

[@EAustin-ge4yh]

I will also be trying it out!

[@mr_stealyour.gur1]

Sorry it took so long, but I ran into some problems. For starters, my hat is roughly twice the size as hers. In step 1, my circle had a diameter of 41 inches. So, I did a mockup to make sure it was going to work. I also recommend using duck tape instead. This hasn't changed anything other than making it sturdier. For the paper, I struggled to get as much as I needed. I suggest getting about 1 grocerie bag if it is the same size as hers. I have so far gotten to the second layer of paper mucha (sorry, i can't spell). The first layer on the outside took 8 hours to dry, and the inside layer took 12. The second layer outside took 6, and the inside was put on at the same time as the outside and not dry. (After the first layer, you can do this if you have time, but if you have the time, don't) That's all for now, but feel free to ask questions!

Omg im being a mushroom for Halloween but my mum isn’t keen of the idea

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW so cool and such a great idea using lace table cloth for the Gills ..I was just looking at some photos I took every season and thinking how beautiful and Magical they are , especially as they grow in Fairy circles ...well done!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I made a hat based off of this and wore it to a Ren Faire. I felt and looked great and got so many compliments! Thank you

[@wishfullx]

did you use the template?

[@e.h.9413]

@@wishfullx I didnt. I cut giant a circle from cardboard and then cut lines going into the center (it looked like a flower or the sun). I cut a little bit off from each center so it would curve when Iglued then together. I practiced with smaller pieces of paper first to see what it would like.

[@wishfullx]

@e.h.9413 thank you !!

[@johanak951]

looks amazing! is it possible to find the pattern for the petaled circle somewhere?

I've finally made the template into a pattern! It's linked in the description box :)

This is such an amazingly made hat, I'm in love! A quick question: You say that you experimented with the shape to get the best curve for the hat, do you have any tips for drafting your own pattern?

[@natasharose]

I finally made a pattern, its linked in the description box :) If you want to draft your own, examine the cross-sections of mushrooms to get a feel for the shape of them, and experiment on a smaller scale.

Natasha this is such a cute video! I went to a renaissance festival earlier this year and saw a few people walking around with mushroom hats on :) this seems like the perfect craft to do while watching tv... avatar the last airbender is my crafting show.. unfortunately, I've not had much time to craft and watch it because of school but now that I'm on break maybe soon :) also, it made me kind of sad seeing your cut up that beautiful lace curtain but It totally made the gils look so unique and cool! I also love the dew drops you made! super cute :) I have a bunch of prisms hanging from my windows to cast rainbows in the morning 🌈🍄

[@natasharose]

Renaissance festivals look like so much fun - I hope I can visit one sometime. Did you dress up? I’ve had so many people recommend I watch avatar the last air bender!! I’m gonna watch it next time I’m crafting :) I watched an entire season of Rick and Morty while making this hat 😆 Sun catchers are delightful! It’s impossible to be sad with rainbows coming in the window 🌈✨

[@Ginnybellebeauty]

@@natasharose yes I did! I even made my own fairy wings! I had a few people ask me wear I bought them, which was such a compliment! and yes ATLA is a show I've loved and watched since childhood, its actually my crafting show because most of the time I'm focusing on the craft and can't actually watch the screen but I know what's going on from the audio... I've seen it way too many times haha

Do you cover the hat with anything once you're done? Are there any protective sprays or paints or things like that?

[@mariasessa2158]

This is an incredible tutorial, thank you! but just a heads up, if you're going to be wearing this hat in a hot region of the world, make sure to use a stronger adhesive than hot glue, it will melt!

Awesome! I will have to give this a go!

Could you make this adding a draw string so it could rest around the neck when not being worn??

[@ktlang2932]

How did you figure out your length for the gills? Did you use a string to factory in the curve or the cap or did you just measure with a ruler the edge of the cap straight across to the stem/headpiece?

[@IATEALLTHECHEESE]

You reckon I could do this without hot glue? Would pva work?

[@natasharose]

Yes you definitely could! I used hot glue because it dries so quickly, which was convenient. So if you decide to use PVA glue there may be parts where you’ll need to pin/clip/tape or hold the pieces together as they’re drying. :)

[@blackivy7582]

So, you can actually make paper clay paste out of drywall compound, flour, paper, and glue. Just make sure to soak the paper in boiling hot water for 24 hours before hand. Makes it nice and soft. "Ultimate Paper Mache" has a great tutorial for this recipe on her channel, plus tips on how to care for and store it. Hope this is helpful!

[@ondrejlasak1175]

Hi! Did you use paper clay paste? Was it good? I've just put it on outer side and Im a little bit afraid, if I'll put it also inside the hat would be too heavy.
