Mini Top hat for Steampunk :D




--

A Miniture top hat for my steampunk costume. Made out of fun foam and material sewn and glued together. All pins are made by me and use to be on my old top hat.
I used to use an actual vintage top hat for my steampunk costume but I don't want to harm it any more since it is starting to show signs of age. Thus I decided to revamp my steampunk costume and making a tiny hat is part one in the process :D
