Red and white paper hat for Valentine's day


My red and white roses on a paper hat for my mother (82), for the seniors' Valentine's tea tomorrow. The dress code is red and white and paper hats.
I used Lady E Design flower 001 die for the roses. The red roses are made of foamiran and the white one made of silk foam. My mother made her hat from unprinted newspaper, using the age-old technique she used about 55 years ago to make us pretty hats (fabric) for church. At that stage, a wooden mould was used with a mesh-like facric and special hat glue. This was covered with organza-like fabric and decorated with ribbons, netting and silk flowers. Who can remember something like that?
Have a lovely weekend.
