Here's how it works
Making a top hat
Cut out a circle with Ø 12 cm and a strip of 38 x 11.5 cm from black Textile felt . For the brim you will also need a circle of Ø 17 cm from Textile felt and from the black Felt sheet . Cut out the inner circle of Ø 11 cm from both circles.
Cut along the long side of the Textile felt-strip about 1.5 cm deep serrations. Glue the short sides together with hot glue and reinforce the edge with a cross stitch. Glue the prongs under the thick felt blank of the brim with hot glue and cover with the thin testile felt blank. Glue the felt circle as a base under the cylinder. Clean the edge of the brim with Chenille wire .
Cushion for the wedding rings
Cut the plugging compound to size, pad it with some filling cotton wool and glue the silk over it. Lace ribbon around the silk and fix everything with strawflower needles. Glue the silk "cushion" into the cylinder. Glue the glass wax beads to the ends of the support wires, shorten the wires to 5 cm, prick one satin floret each and put the wires in the space in between. Sew two satin ribbons by hand on the cushion and fix the rings with them.
