Fly to the Derby
I never knew that I loved horse racing. That’s probably because I don’t…what I do love is getting all crafty to make a ridiculous hat for a chance to win some serious swag from one of my favorite spots in Somerville. This is the first year of the Kentucky Derby party at Five Horses in Davis Square, so I am going to show you the hat that I created to participate in the contest this year…
Butterfly for the win…
Flutterbyes everywhere for my first Derby hat! First place, 2015.
This is the hat that I made. In full disclosure, it was a frantic trip to Michael’s the morning of to get supplies. I had in my head what I wanted to do, but how to do it?? I also have this insane idea that I was going to reuse the hat next year, so I didn’t want to permanently attach anything which made it much harder to be honest. And, ironically, I still have not reused that hat.
I don’t have a lot of pictures from the first year as I didn’t know what to expect. The other thing I found out was how DARK it is in Five Horses which definitely inspired my next concoction.
