DINOSAUR TAIL HAT... great photo prop

Another quick, easy, and cute design brought to you by Hectanooga.etsy.com.

Make it in any color of your choice, I have used cream and forest green! But yellow with black spikes would be striking, light blue with navy spikes, light green with dark green, any colors will do.

For play wear, make the spikes in all different colors.... use up your scraps of yarn.

You will need worsted weight yarn, and a size 6.5mm crochet hook.

It is not a listing for the actual flowers. For a number of years I was in the business of making wedding dresses, and was called upon to make flowers for bridal headpieces, etc. I am going to share my techniques.

 These can be made large or small, it's sooo easy. You can recycle fabrics, I have used curtain fabrics, and even a scrap of drapery satin, as shown in the beige colored flower. The pink one is plain broadcloth, and you could add polka dots with craft paint and a toothpick or a skewer once they are finished!

You can make these while watching T.V.!

I have simplified the making of these flowers, because I am not into difficult procedures... I like to keep everything simple!!

You will receive a flower-making tutorial with photos of each and every step, as well as written instructions!
