Top Hat by Snapdragon Snippets 

Design ID number 67665

Assembly Instructions: 

http://needlesnknowledge.blogspot.com/2014/10/mourners-decorated-top-hat-assembly.html

Cut a top hat from the pattern sheets.

Assemble accordingly.

Tip: Use red double side tape to adhere the
 pieces. This makes assembly easy and will 

prevent it from falling apart. 

Cut some die cut shapes and a large bow 
(assemble) for the pattern sheets.
Tip : Curl the two bow strips forming a curve 
using the back of pencil or similar object. 
This makes folding the end pieces
 together a little easier. 

Fasten with a brad.

Cut 2 clocks from chipboard using the Tim Holtz dies 

and heat emboss with embossing powder.

Cut some elegant flourishes from chipboard using the

Tim Holtz dies. Ink with decades inks and add crackle

accents. Leave to dry.

Cut a circle from watercolor paper and emboss with an

embossing folder. Colour with decades ink blending the 

colours. Highlight the embossed effect with wax.

Fussy cut some of the clocks from the pattern sheet.

Mat some of the elements onto gold cardstock and

add the pattern chipboard pieces.

Add eyelets to the chipboard buttons 

and adhere the metal embellishments.

Add the large bow on the side of the hat

and adhere a chipboard button in the centre.

Add metal brads and chain to the side of 

the hat.

Mat the sticker title 'A Proper Gentleman'

 onto cream cardstock and stick to a pin.
