To make a DIY felt witch hat, you will need the following materials: a piece of black felt, a pencil or fabric marker, a pair of scissors, a hot glue gun or fabric glue, and optional decorations such as ribbon, feathers, or a buckle. Start by measuring the circumference of your head with a measuring tape or a piece of string. Use this measurement to determine the width of your hat. The width should be slightly larger than your head circumference to allow for a comfortable fit. Once you have determined the width, take the black felt and fold it in half. Use a pencil or fabric marker to draw a curved line from the top of the fold to the bottom corner.
Litie,
I’m glad you enjoyed my thoughts on the first book of the Liveship Trilogy. I’m about 75% of the way through Mad Ship and the story has gotten far better as the story unfolds. After this series I’ll be back to the Fitz saga with the Tawny Man Trilogy. Despite not hearing great things about the Soldier’s Son Trilogy, I may pick it up and give it a shot. One of my favorite aspects of Robin Hobb’s writing is her character development. In the case of Mad Ship, I went from hating Malta with a passion to warming up to her. Thanks for the comment
Once finished, I m planning on diving into the Tawny Man Trilogy to see how Fitz has made out since the last time we heard of him in Assassin s Quest. That s true that this trilogy is quite different from the others, I think this is due to the fact that the story does not occur in he same world, notably.
Use a pencil or fabric marker to draw a curved line from the top of the fold to the bottom corner. This will create a triangle shape. Cut along the line to create the main body of the hat.
Book Review: Liveship Traders – Ship of Magic
Ship of Magic is the first book in the Liveship Traders Trilogy. This series of books takes place shortly after the Farseer Trilogy (Assassin’s Apprentice, Royal Assassin, and Assassin’s Quest) comes to a close and also takes place within the same world. Bingtown is a city along the Cursed Shores and is home to an old line of traders that travel by ship to exchange goods between merchants in other towns and cities. What makes this group of people so special is there bond with another sect of society, the Rain Wilds Traders, and their use of Liveships. These ships are made of a mysterious and wildly expensive wood which quickens and comes to life. The book revolves around one trader family in particular and their Liveship. The Vestrit family falls on hard times and has their Liveship perused by pirates. Along the way, Althea, finds herself in a massive family dispute and does all she can to prove herself worthy of being the captain of the Vivacia.
My Thoughts:
While this book was enjoyable, I did not find myself bonded to it nearly as tightly as I was the Farseer Trilogy and the Fitz character. I appreciate that this series takes place within the world I am familiar with and makes references to events and lands that I have experienced through the viewpoint of Fitz. The ending of this book was a little strange. The reason I say that is because the resolution that I was waiting for was not one from a character that I expected. It ads a nice twist to the ending but I felt like something was missing. I’ve become very fond of Robin Hobb’s books and intend to continue on with this series. Once finished, I’m planning on diving into the Tawny Man Trilogy to see how Fitz has made out since the last time we heard of him in Assassin’s Quest.

Next, open up the triangle and fold it in half again so that the two bottom corners meet. Use a pencil or fabric marker to draw a slightly curved line along the folded edge. This line will determine the height of your hat. Cut along the line to create the cone shape of the hat. Now it's time to assemble the hat. Take the two side edges of the cone and overlap them slightly. Use the hot glue gun or fabric glue to secure the edges together. Hold them in place until the glue dries. Once the cone is secure, you can add any desired decorations to your hat. This could include gluing on ribbon around the base of the cone, attaching feathers to the pointy end, or adding a buckle to the front. Get creative with your decorations to personalize your witch hat. To finish off your DIY felt witch hat, try it on to ensure a proper fit. If needed, trim the bottom edge of the hat to your desired length. When you're happy with the fit and look of the hat, it's ready to wear for Halloween or any other dress-up occasion! Remember, creating your own felt witch hat allows for endless customization possibilities. Have fun with it and let your creativity shine!.
