hi fedi!

@wffl idk how you feel about amazon but i saw some crocheted witch hats there awhile back when i helped a friend source one! if you’re into fiber arts it seems like the kind of thing you could crochet pretty easily! but if you’re looking more for the traditional felted hat i’d check etsy

@wffl @LilaHexe your time to shine

@wffl most folks who want a really "economical" witch hat buy them from costume/masquerade stores. they are often made from a lightweight nylon fabric and have wired edges to hold their shape.

What I would call a "nice" witch hat, as a costumer, is a proper hat made from sturdy felt. That will hold it's shape without being wired. A stunning array of this sort of hat can be found on Etsy.

@wffl I have one from https://www.etsy.com/shop/BecsIndustryShop

I don't wear it every day, but it does look good

@wffl i have made a couple nice ones with a wet-felting process. it’s not something i want to take commissions for, but if you’re leaning toward DIY i am more than happy to infodump about the process in as much or as little detail as you’d like. it’s not particularly difficult or expensive but it is a bit time-consuming and physically demanding. and your first hat or two will probably come out a little bit…”rustic” aesthetically, so if “nice” means “perfect-looking” you maybe want to buy one.

You don’t acquire it, you earn it!

[mimesatwork@wandering.shop]

@wffl I'd recommend felting, or at least working with felt-fabric to give a nice texture to the hat. Here's a tutorial for how to sew one:

@wffl @RnDanger I made one using this Instructables project for a Gandalf hat, if you want something big. Quick and easy!

Gandalf the Grey's Wizard Hat: Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Lord of the Rings -- and all things Tolkien related. I still remember the first time I picked up a copy of The Hobbit in my elementary school library as a fifth-grader, and how many of my teachers and older f…

Etsy has a good selection of which some might hit your requirements? https://www.etsy.com/search?q=witch+hat&ref=search_bar&instant_download=0

[robotistry@mstdn.ca]

@wffl I was going to suggest these:

(my daughter has one and it is spectacular) but then you said one to wear every day. Now all I have is Terry Pratchett's Nanny Ogg describing her hat in Witches Abroad:

"It's got willow reinforcing all the way up to the point and eighteen pockets inside. Can stop a blow with a hammer, this hat."

@wffl I made this hat in about 3 hours … I will share materials and construction in later post (probably in alt text as I can put a lot in there )

[lhaulde@piaille.fr]

@adhemara thanks !

@wffl Yes I do make them, you can choose the color, the size, the material (if it's possible to make a hat out of it)
Estimates are free

[em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social]

@wffl forgive the underside… I was in a hurry and the piece of green fabric was too small ! If I took my time with it I would have stitched much slower and had an even piece to cover the underside
