Steampunk World's Fair 2013

The SPWF is in a few weeks and I'm starting to work on our costumes. My sister and I are thinking about going as a steampunked Wicked Witches of the East and West. There's a great hat tut here. This site gives the most complete step by step projects I have ever seen!

The hat is decorated with organza "dead" roses, the tut is here.

I've been practicing on some brown organza I had in my stash and am very pleased with he results.



Just be sure to not breathe in too many of the fumes! It's melted, burning plastic. Ick! And I couldn't believe how fast the fabric burned, I will NEVER were organza again without watching for candles! Shades of Mrs Havisham!
