cardboard 'patchwork' top hat

i've been planning (and then postponing) a mad hatter's tea party. such an event obviously merits a hat, here's what i came up with:

it's a very childish attempt - just a cardboard box that's been measured, cut, stapled, gaffa-taped, and then covered in cut-up bits of cutesy papers and pva. it could do with a ribbon and/or a corsage, maybe some feathers as well. it's pretty cool though : ) now all i need is the rest of my outfit.
