I’ve been working on hatboxes. These started out as cardboard forms and I decorated them with handmade paper and other items. This is a small box, painted bronze on the inside and bottom. I applied the paper with Modge Podge, a wondrous product. Not only does MP act as a glue, it also acts as a sealer.
We call this one "Elvis." The top is layered with canvas paper in pinks & purples, finished with 14k gold dust. The sides are painted with acrylic paint which I mixed as I went along so each stripe would be a unique color.
The inside is painted purple with purple feathers as decoration, and the bottom is covered with purple sateen.

Each hat sports the red hat logo with my signature.
