Introduction
Welcome to Midge Munster's channel, where we celebrate all things campy, kooky, glamorous, and spooky. In this video, Midge shares her desire to create a spring gardening project, but encounters obstacles due to the unusually rainy weather in Missouri. Instead, she decides to embark on a craft project to make her own gardening witch hat. Join Midge as she takes us through the step-by-step process of creating a unique and stylish hat for spring.
The Rainiest Spring in Missouri
Midge begins by expressing her disappointment with the recent weather conditions in Missouri. She explains how the constant rain and storms have prevented her from shooting outdoor gardening videos. Despite the challenges, Midge remains optimistic and determined to find an alternative spring-themed project. She shares her excitement about creating a gardening witch hat and explains how she came across the idea on TikTok.
Making a Gardening Witch Hat
After spotting a TikTok video featuring a straw witch hat decorated for spring, Midge adds this DIY project to her spring content plans. She discusses how the project involves purchasing two straw hats from a craft store, unraveling one hat to create the point of the witch's hat, and then decorating it with various materials. Midge expresses her enthusiasm for matching the hat's design to a skirt she owns from Vixen by Micheline Pitt, which features a springy garden witch aesthetic.
The Supplies You'll Need
Midge showcases all the supplies she has gathered for the project. She displays two straw hats from Michaels, emphasizing how lucky she was to find them on clearance. She also presents a sheet of craft foam, faux flowers in various shades of blue, purple, and pink, and two ribbons in lavender and sage green. Midge explains that besides scissors and a hot glue gun, no additional craft supplies are necessary.
Constructing the Base of the Hat
In this step, Midge demonstrates how to construct the base of the hat using one of the straw hats and craft foam. She mentions the challenges she faced in shaping the top of the hat correctly, but ultimately achieves the desired look. Midge acknowledges the importance of trial and error in crafting projects.
Decorating the Hat
With the base of the hat complete, Midge moves on to the fun part – decorating it. She begins by wrapping ribbons around the hat to create a hat band and allows some to flow from the back, creating a ribbon train. Midge then adds a wreath of faux flowers at the base of the hat, strategically selecting flowers that match the fabric of her skirt. She expresses her satisfaction with how well the flowers complement the hat's design.
Adding Ribbons and a Chin Tie
To finish off the hat, Midge glues ribbons inside the hat, creating an under-chin tie to secure it in place. She explains her vision behind this addition and mentions how it enhances the overall look of the hat. Midge notes that these final touches are simple and quick to execute.
The Final Product
Midge reveals the completed gardening witch hat, expressing her sheer delight with the result. She emphasizes how cute, feminine, and witchy the hat looks, and how it makes her feel like an absolute queen. She recommends viewers try making their own straw witch hats, highlighting the satisfaction and enjoyment that comes with crafting.
Enjoying the Craft
Returning the following day with additional glue sticks, Midge wraps up the project by adding the finishing touches to the hat. She mentions her excitement about filming a reveal video outside in her garden since the weather has finally improved. Midge reflects on the positive experience of crafting and DIY projects, expressing her enthusiasm for creating more in the future.
