Mad Hatter Hat

I found some old crummy curtains for super cheap at a thrift store, but the lace was this really crummy brown so I spray painted parts of it purple and other parts gold.
Once I finished hot gluing the brim to the cylinder, it was too thick to fit my head anymore! I was devastated!
So I found an old crummy iron (one i should've thrown away, but glad i didn't) and just melted some of the glue out. It worked! It was just enough to fit snugly.
