Blocking:

To block off you can either use a 1" inch styrofoam ball, cut in half and wrapped in plastic wrap, or half of a plastic easter egg. Dip your hat in any fabric stiffener, squeeze out, then drape the hat over the half egg shape or styrofoam ball. Make sure you have plastic wrap on the bottom. You can pin the ch lp down around but I just molded and pushed the brim flat. Let dry.

Weave the ribbon through sts of rnd 4: tie the ends in a bow and glue a ribbon rose in the center.
