Just a tip, it's easier to cut them in a round bottomed triangle with a strip of poster board pinned to the top corner, then sweeping it across the bottom with a pen in the other end to mark your edge. Then, just cut with scissors or, what we used, a rotary cutter from our sewing tools =) We then used the poster board round bottomed triangles as templates for cutting our fabric, with the fabric a few inches longer to fold over inside.<br /><br />They make great princess hats too - you can be a steampunk princess! I made some satin covered ones for my daughter's birthday party and got stick on gems for the girls to decorate them with - a little veil trailing from the top too, of course ;)<br /><br />(Our directions were from this blog: http://www.thecreativityexchange.com/2010/12/fabric-covered-poster-board-christmas-tree-cones.html She has some pictures to better explain what I typed above =)Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955825523805190150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-57175202374088110292012-12-13T12:30:12.691-05:002012-12-13T12:30:12.691-05:00Thanks for the Pin!

(yes really) does this line kick major crafty butt. There's one (the 450 Quick Dry) that I've heard referred to as hot glue in a tube and it's really pretty close. Might be worth a try next time you've got fiddly bits that need to glue in bendy ways.

I got a new bike recently, (2012 Kawasaki Concours)that is a chocolatey-reddish color. My helmet, for which I have no other excuse to replace, is silver. So I used those rhinestones and some others that complement the actual color of the bike and blinged up my helmet. I'm getting a new brown leather jacket and boots in the future...trying for a look that is more Steampunkish than Biker.Pattihttp://www.casadefuchs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-51393853245903180252012-12-12T09:53:15.883-05:002012-12-12T09:53:15.883-05:00Awesome!
