Step by Step
1
Fold a piece of the red hot cardstock in half. Trim to 15 ½ cm square. Mark in from the side edges 4 ½ cm and down the sides 4 ½ cm. Cut these corner sections to create an octagon shape.
2
To create the hat section cut a strip of cardstock to 7cm x 29 ½ cm. Score the two long sides at 1cm and score the piece into 3cm sections across the length of the card. Where the lines cross cut into a V shape to make little tabs. Fold all sections and glue at the ends to create an octagonal shape.
3
Cut a 7 ½ cm square of card to match the hat. Apply Anita’s Tacky glue to the little tabs created in the previous step and glue in place on this square of card. When dry, choose a piece of paper from the rose garden pack and draw around the hat top. Score these lines to make them easier to fold, and cut the shape out creating large scallops on each line. Stick this to the top of the hat.
4
Take a piece of the Rose Garden paper and cut to 11 ½ cm square. Cut off 3cm on the corners, as in step 1, and create a smaller octagonal shape. On the back of this shape apply some double sided tape around the edges. Gather a length of yellow ribbon across the double sided tape to create a little frill. Once this is stuck in place, apply another layer of double sided tape and stick centrally onto the card base.
5
Stick the hat top to the base using the bottom layer of tabs and stick in place onto the top of the card.
6
Create an abundance of roses of different sizes using the instructions in the pack. Take two shorter pieces of ribbon to create a loose cascade. Stick in place using silicone glue. Leave to dry.
7
Attach the roses onto the top and sides of the hat, covering up the silicone marks left on the ribbon strips. Ensure that the roses spread across the base of the card. Use a few offcuts of the roses sheets cut into fine strips and quilled to create a few twirls. Stick in between the roses. Add a little bit of iridescent glitter glue if you wish, to create a little dazzle.
8
Finish by adding some glitterations greetings around the outside edge of the hat.
