How Do You Make A Hat For A Victorian Tea Party?
Tea parties are a popular activity for bridal and baby showers, girls’ sleepovers or themed cocktail parties. Whether you are hosting a tea party with authentic costumes or simply want to offer a fun theme, no Victorian tea party is complete without Victorian party hats. Women’s Victorian hats come in a variety of colors and styles, but the most recognizable is the wide-brimmed hat festooned with ribbons, flowers and lace. Make your own Victorian hat for a stylish tea party accessory. Purchase a plain, wide-brimmed straw hat from a craft store or through an online retailer. Set your hat on a clean, flat surface. Cut lengths of tulle that are at least 3 to 4 times longer than the circumference of where the hat’s crown meets the brim. Wind the tulle loosely about the base of the crown. Secure it with a few dots of hot glue and tie the ends in a huge, frothy bow. Make sure the ends of the bow will not hang in your face. Wrap ribbons, lace or layers of both on top of the tulle.
