No-sew Baby & Child Size Hat Stand.

Video tutorial on how to make a hat stand out of a few simple low-cost supplies. Styrofoam balls, flower pots and tulle. I wanted to display my little hats and bonnets along with my adult sized hats, but did not have a mannequin head the right size. I came up with these! This is a submission to the Threadbanger sewing machine contest.

What size Styrofoam ball would you use for an adult female? I crochet chemo hats and need head forms. I love this idea. Thank you

[Bethintx1]

@laace2003 I would say 23 inches around, or 22, because you add a little dimension when you cover the ball. I'm not sure what ball sizes are available. You could always get a smaller ball and add quilt batting, or papier machie and sculpt a head...(I'm not sure of your crafting skill level and how much work you are willing to do on these.)

this is a great idea!! are those styrofoam balls completely round? they look a little oval-ish? this would help me a lot!

[Bethintx1]

@dittybird These aare round, but Oval would be better!
