Mon, July 9, 2007 - 12:01 PMTempest has just moved and has a new job I don't think she'll be doing any customs for awhile...
If you want someone to make it for you go to www.wickedsmileys.com the womans name is Sarah she will make it for you wicked fast at a good price, and I'm pretty sure I saw some mini top hats in her workshop -

You can contact her and talk to her about making a custom one for you, you can probably get her to attach it to a hair clip or hairband or whatever you like. She makes ALL my hair pieces and is very accomodating she loves doing customs especially for performance artists

this chick makes beautiful and tiny hats. they're all one of a kind so I'm sure she could make you something. :) I believe I've seen her make top hats before. Her stuff seems to be in the price range of $30-$55.

Wed, July 11, 2007 - 10:28 AMI went to one of those bear-building-and-dressing stores and got a little top hat to use as a base upon which to add feathers and netting to. I think the hat was only $6 -

Wed, July 11, 2007 - 10:33 AMMost of the Mini Hats you'll be seeing places are made by Marjhani of Dreadful Delights. You can see her work at www.myspace,com/dreadfuldelights. She is gladly taking custom orders, and her hats tap out around 70 (and that is for very expensive material), I believe.
Happy hunting! -

Re: mini top hat
Fri, July 13, 2007 - 3:18 PMthank you all for your answers but i think i will give it a go my self.I went to michaels and bought a teddy bear top hat for 2.99 and some ribbon ,feathers,and flowers and some material for the veil and i already have some black velvet if i decide to cover the hat first .So anyways my grand total is just under 10.00 ,which definately beats the 45.00-100.00 price range on line.I really love the hats on line just couldnt afford it at this time ,thanks all -

Re: mini top hat
Tue, July 17, 2007 - 3:19 PMi've used those felt hats from craft stores too.
they are perfect for the quick fix for a costume, especially if you don't know if you are going to use it again.
i put a black shiny velvet band around mine, reinforced the band too. then took ostrich feathers in different colors to match different costumes and made of couple of different inserts to stick into the band, that way I can change them out depending on the color scheme.
they don't hold up to being tossed about, and if you get them wet they sometimes lose their shape. but, for less than $40 i have a tiny hat for 4 different costumes. -
