Ideas for a Tea Party Hat

Hello again ladies....ok so I am going to a tea party on Sat and it is a networking event.  You have to wear a tea party hat (well make one) and I was thinking how genious would it be to make one that goes along with my profession...soooo I was hoping you ladies could help me with some ideas of what to put on the hat.

Here are a few ideas I have:

Esthetic sponges

Fan brush

Skin care samples

waxing sticks?

some white orchid flowers

maybe some words like skin care, vitamin c, anti-aging, acne treatment, etc

tea bag?

Couple of lavender tea light candles?

ok this hat is obviously going to weigh 1,000 lbs.  haha

Any other funny or creative ideas?  I think this could win in the originality part of the contest.

Thanks ladies!!

Oh lady,  I think a networking TEA PARTY sounds wonderful!!! Oh what fun you can have creating your HAT.

I would make sure to use a very strong brim hat. Maybe there is something that can be done to the underneath of the brim for added support.  I do not think it will be too heavy with the items you discribed so far, except maybe  the candles.  If the hat is a strong one with a good strong brim,  a very thin type of tea light might work.  Do use a few airy type feathers (maybe mixed in with your flowers, and only  2 or 3 feathers) with the hat. It gives a wonderful tea party hat a touch of class!!! Any way my HATS of to ya!!! Have a blast at your tea!!!!!

Oh and do not forget your business card tucked in somewhere! And make sure you have plenty to hand out too!!

What a fun idea! I like Diane's thought of including a business card--what if you even put an entire business card holder on the hat, so they can grab one right off your head? :-)

Yes I think people taking one from the hat is a wonderful idea!

You could even do the top of the hat as a head! You could glue on eyepads, wrap a towel around the "face" and do a mask on it! Love this idea of a tea party! Please post pictures!!!

Oh and Sheila, please take and post pictures of the Hat you wear at the Tea! I would love so to see it. I think having something like this to go to would be soooo much fun!!!

This is such a great idea! LOL! You need to post a picture when it's done. I don't think it will be too heavy. You could make flower or fan-shaped things out of sponges, sample packets and wax sticks, with a big fan brush as a hat pin. If you don't have a hot glue gun, that would probably be the best way to stick it all together - you can get a hot glue gun and a bag of glue sticks at craft stores for a few dollars.

Ok, here goes nothing.  LOL.  I put together my hat, I used sponges, cotton swabs, waxing stick, and some samples on the one side and 2 types of tea on the other( since I serve tea or water after appts).  They I just added flowers and some bedazzling, and hung the words of my services off the sides and on the back I have a picture of a womans face that I use in my marketing and my logo.  ON the front I put VitalizeMe and back I put skin care because skin therapy would have been off centered.  I am holding all the stuff in place with a white headband liek what I use in my treatment room.  The sign above is my tag line.  I didn't really have an area for the business cards so I will bring with me and I was going to do tea light candles but opted against because I didn't like the way they looked.  It actually didn't take much time and I didn't clue anything to the hat...hope it all staysin place!  I will let you know how it goes.  I am looking forward to a fun little girls afternooon!

Thanks for the ideas and support!!!

Sheila, you are too amazing!  Your tea party/skin care hat turned out soooooooooooo cute!  I love the way you incorporated your name of the salon and what you do AND made it look pretty.  You should definitely win most creative hat - hands down!  Have fun!!!

Thanks Debbie, I did win most creative :).  I got a Do It Yourself at home wine party kit.  LOL.  They did make me stand for every category practically but had to be fair to others.
