Making the Hat
-
Start by tying the sash around the base of the hat, allowing it to trail behind. Insert the peacock feathers into the left side of the sash.
-
Cut a small piece of paper, approximately 3 x 4 inches. Use a sharpie to write “10/6” on the paper. Lightly burn the edges of the paper using a lighter and quickly blow it out. Insert the paper into the hat sash on the right side.
Making the Props
-
Take your glove fabric and glue it into a tube that is just large enough to slip over your wrists. Flip them inside out so the glued seam is on the inside. Cut out holes for your thumbs.
-
Glue the two ends of the bright ribbon into a sash to wear across your torso. Use the hot glue gun to attach the brightly colored buttons along the entire length of the ribbon.
-
If you’d like, replace the buttons on your jacket with fancy ornate buttons.
-
Finally, glue white lace to the ends of the sleeves of your dress shirt.
Pulling it all Together
-
When dressing, consider tucking your pants into your boots for added style. Layer the vest over the white shirt, followed by the jacket. Finish off the look by tying the dark floral print cloth in a bow at your neck. If you plan on doing makeup, it’s best to save this step for after your makeup is complete.

Drape the button sash over your torso and insert the pink and purple swatches of cloth into each pocket of your jacket. If your jacket doesn’t have pockets, you can attach simple ones made from matching fabric to the jacket for this purpose.
-
Slide on your gloves, top off the ensemble with your hat, and voila! You are now ready to join the Mad Hatter for tea.
