I wanted more whimsical shapes than I saw at the store. I saw some online but they were quite expensive!  So as usual I decided to make my own. So I had some ideas in my head but I always do an internet search first to see if anyone has tried this and what they did.  I found a few tutorials right away.  The one I liked best was by Thread Bangers on youtube.  Here are the links This one is for the oversized mad hatter hat http://youtu.be/zKcbk6xnSz4 This is for the mini hat. http://youtu.be/z3Nx0igPai4 I used both here and only made a couple modifications.
