I made a hat for the Kentucky Derby Hat contest. I used the horse pattern, then mixed the clay up with black napkins, glued the horse to my cowboy hat then sanded, painted and decorated it!! I used REAL HORSE HAIR for the mane!!


Great idea for a hat. I have never seen anything like it. Great job!
I love your hat!!!! What an awesome….. absolutely unique idea!!!! If I was betting on hats…. yours would be the winner!!
Thank you!! It was fun to make and I got to spend the day with my daughter who also decorated a hat ??
Wow, did you win a prize for the best original hat? What a show stopper! Hope the horse you stole the hair from wasn’t there! Ha! ha!
Unfortunately I did not even place in the top 15. We race horses for a giving so I took hair from all our racers. The hat named Charlie, is now our mascot ?
