Baby Bat won't help with intro, but she will photobomb in the background, sneaky girl. It has never occurred to me how much engineering could go into a witch hat. That little charm is killing me with adorableness. Now I kind of tempted to pilfer the idea for a doll costume... More witch outfits are always welcome, just saying. 😉

Such a well-structured garment, almost a bit too much, but it holds the perfect witch-hat shape. Really great

I'm doing my own witch hat and is far too late to implement everything i learned from this video but it was fascinating and I'm exited to see what i can do next year, I think I'll take part in the tradition of making a new witch costume every year, I would love to see more Millinery videos, I didn't even know that was a word until I saw your videos.

Ah I'll make sure to pick more projects that involve millinery! And good luck with your hat! Do you post your work to instagram or anywhere? I'd love to see it! It'd be so much fun to do a community witch project next year and get to see everyone's work 😊

You always do such a great job of breaking down the complex steps of a project like this and making them seem accessible and manageable. I never would have thought to create the bends in the understructure that way - probably would have spent hours and hours trying to slash and dart the buckram before just giving up entirely, LOL. The results are so clean and crisp, beautifully shot, and really well articulated!!

I really like the idea of making a new witch costume every year, but I like the idea of you making one every year even if WE wouldn’t like that idea even better 😎

there are bendy rulers that keep the shape you put them in that make the oval process a lot easier! if you look up flexible ruler you should be able to find it. then you can wrap it around your head, place it on the paper, and have an approximate oval that you can then smooth out. ooh I'm going to have to rewatch and keep an eye out for those diagon alley hats! omg the ear flaps they're so CUTE I definitely want to make one! so many good ideas, at least I have all year to decide!

what a cute hat! Love how you made sure it bends the way you wanted it to. I may have to borrow this approach sometime later (or maybe never... I have more plans and ideas than time and energy ._.) While I love your concern for safety I am sure you could use a true tea light for your staff! At least for short periods for photoshoots etc.! When I was little we used to have lantern parades in November to celebrate st. Martin (I'm sure those parades are still a thing but I'm not a kid anymore xD) and we had all those paper(!!!) lanterns with candles. (small children got electric lights for safety most of the time but you were so proud if you got a true candle because now you were "big" enough xD) and your lantern isn't paper but glass! glass should be totally fine!
