So I made this black cat bead when I made my mummy & ghost (and yes, there are plans for other monsters, but maybe not this Halloween), and he's been nothing but trouble. First you couldn't see the detail very well; so I had to figure out how to fix that. Then while inserting one of his earrings, his ear broke right off! >.<
After a breif period of mourning (read: swearing, bitching & complaining), I decided I would make a little witch's hat for him. I thought it would be no trouble to make one from paper and seal like I did my corn. So I looked up a pattern, figured out a complicated formula to resize it, cut it out, and tried gluing it. It wouldn't stay glued; the curl was too tight. GAH!
ETA: No, gluing it back on wouldn't have worked because a small piece was missing when I tried...
So I attempted to make one from fabric. SUCCESS! Look at how cute! Of course, it doesn't sit right on the cat, and certainly doesn't look right. So, now what...???
