Happy Pi Day!

I love Pi! It's something that get used frequently by crafters and seamstresses.

Like cone hats- one of the easiest ways to make a cone hat that fits the person wearing it is to make it from a quarter circle. For that, you measure the circumference of your head, multiply that number by 4, divide by pi then divide by 2 for the radius of a quarter circle that will fit your head.

So now you can make your cone with newspaper or on fabric easily, adding a half inch to each side for a seam allowance or overlap.

Adding a brim for witch hat is measuring the circumference of your head and dividing by pi for the inner circle radius, then for the outer circle, add the number of inches you want the brim to be to the radius.

A couple of years ago I posted a PDF template for cutting the waist of circle skirts. You can find that here.

Miniature pies are trendy, check out my review of Mini Pies, and my review of Cutie Pies. 

Miniature Printable Witch Hat

Like my printable Princess crowns or Alice printables, this can be printed and strung on elastic to wear as a hat.
It is however, just a little tricky to put together.

I curved the top part of the hat by pulling it at an angle across the edge of my desk. I really recommend using double sided tape to put together the cone and put the top of the base into the hat, the tabs are wide enough for it. Then use a thin coat of glue to put the bottom part of the base of the hat on it, and go over the cut edges with a marker so they aren't white against the rest of the hat.Take 3 sheets of card stock. 2 Halloweenish color ways and I'll work on more designs this week.
