These instructions are provided as a general guideline only, how you decorate your hat is completely up to you. Go all out!

1. Stamp snowflake image repeatedly in VersaMark ink on Bride Specialty paper. Cover images with Heat & Stick powder, and heat until images are sticky. Cover images with Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter, and shake off excess.
2. Create hat  from stamped and glittered Bride paper using Pouch 4 pattern from Pattern Library.
3. Freehand cut scallops along edge of Bella Bleu Designer Series paper (12" x 1-1/2"). Adhere second strip of Bella Bleu paper behind scallops (12" x 2"), and snip edges to create "grass." Adhere strips of newspaper behind Bella Bleu paper, and snip edges. Crinkle all snipped edges and fan outward. Using Pouch 4 pattern, trim straight edge of Bella Bleu so that it will curve with bottom edge of hat. Adhere to hat.
