More Alice in Wonderland printables

When I posted the Mad Hatter's Mini Hat, it was planned to be part of a set. Here's the rest of the set.
A mini Queen of Hearts crown that needs elastic like the Mini Princess Crowns and tea boxes. The size that fits Tazo tea bags. 
The tea boxes are blank and with quotes. I hope you enjoy them!

Printable mini Mad Hatter top hat with template

This was a lot more challenging than I initially thought it would be. I wound up having to remake the template because I messed it up the first time not taking into account the thickness of the cardstock.
Score the folds carefully. Cut out all the pieces. The first part you put together is the tube shaped top of the hat. Then glue the top circle into place with the tabs glued on the inside of the tube. Put one of the brim pieces face up over the hat down to the tabs on the bottom of the tube then flip it over and glue down the tabs. Glue the second brim piece over that sandwiching the tabs between the two layers of the brim. Glue the hat band and slip it over the hat, then put the card in the hat band. The plain ones could be decorated with names on the hat bands to make place cards for a tea party, or you could attach elastic cord like the Printable Mini Princess Crowns to wear the hats. If you make several of these, kudos. One was frustrating enough for me! Click on the images for the full sized 100 ppi versions. The finished size is about 3 inches tall and about 5 inches in diameter at the base.






Last picture is one my son thought I should take. The dragon is a little toy my husband won for me at the carnival.
Look for Queen of Hearts mini crowns and tea boxes to match in the next couple of days!

More photos- bears, ducks, wolves

Tired of me talking about my camera yet? Sorry, I just love it so much and haven't had it long at all. I'm enjoying the heck out of getting all sorts of neat pictures. All photos were resized to 50%, I put an arrow in one of them. They are otherwise unretouched. Click on the images to see the 50% version. All of them were using auto-focus but I'm slowly learning how to use the advanced features.
We went to the zoo the day before my b-day. Our zoo has an area that overlooks the wolf habitat.

I was also able to get this one of a bear there.


I'm planning on running the wolf photo through BeadTool and making a pattern of it. 
Earlier this week we went to Potter's Marsh. I took pictures of ducks of course. Next week the geese should be there as well.
This is zoomed out all the way. Just a natural shot. The arrow points to where the ducks are.

Gorgeous landscape isn't it? I love Alaska. It will be greener there next time we go. Spring was late this year.
Zooming in all the way, these are the ducks.


It's so nice having a camera that gets the shots I want without having to tip toe up to the birds I'm trying to photograph!
