This home made hat is based on the Nefertiti hat/crown
Nefertiti was a Queen of Egypt from 1370 BC to 1330 BC
This hat was made as a lrp prop and not historically accurate in any shape or form, plus its made of cardboard and felt.
To make this hat I made a basic paper pattern by trial and error and then transferred it to some thicker card.
Lots of glue and staples later I got the basic shape.
Which I then covered in felt and gold leather look fabric.
before finally glueing on some gem cake decorations.
