I've always admired how pretty this
Juju hats look on almost any type of
decor style. A little while ago I
wrote about them and presented you with some great examples in a variety of colors and sizes. This little guys make a great focal statement.
Today I found a simple way to do one. My version of the
Juju hat (although more delicate and simple in form)
is made using regular white feathers painted with coffee grind and half of a foam sphere (
You can find both feathers and foam at Michaels stores). I lower the round center of the sphere to make it a concave form (like the ones on the real
Juju). After this, I started placing the feathers around it.
I used the larger
feathers on the bottom and the smallest ones as I was getting closer to the center. This whole project did not take to much time and was very inexpensive to do (compare to $300 and up for the real thing). The delicate final result was a huge success! Come on, try it out and let me know how it went.
