Sinister Easter bonnet?

[docket]

Ds1 loves foxes. So I thought it would be fun to make a bonnet with a fox chasing some chicks. the finished article looks a bit scary and having viewed some hats online I am wondering if this is in fact completely inappropriate. He is in reception so this is my first brush with bonneting. Am I worrying over nothing?

I couldn't see Docket's profole but I found it in mumsnet legends.

How did I miss this first time around???

I couldn't work out why the fox looked familiar, until I remembered it reminded me of the sexy crocodile pouch my sister once bought for her DH

I've been on mumsnet for just over a year and I've seen posters mention this bonnet on several theeads but ive not actually seen it until today. Its bloody fantastic!

That is brilliant. I am so glad it has been preserved in Mumsnet history.

Thank you! And oh my word! That's fantastic(ally scary)...I am shocked it didn't win the prize!

TheNiffler posted a pic of it in all its genius on page 8. Am so glad they saved it for posterity!

How do I see a picture of this bonnet? I feel like I'm missing out!

Most amazing bonnet/fright helmet ever just read this for the first time and it had me in stitches
Great thread

I hope @Docket not only got her FrightHelmet back, but that it survived the move and went to the new school, where a less po-faced teacher awarded it first prize and put it in the Hall of Fame Case for school children to scrutinise and gaze at with awe ever after.

OMG an Easter treat. Thanks for the photo! Had to use my imagination till then but the realities scarier

[Mysa74]

Best thread and bonnet ever!
I'm sat here in stitches with tears rolling down my cheeks... Wonder if Docket every got her bonnet back or if the teachers held it hostage until Halloween?

[BigbyWolf]

Thank you Niffler I've just read the whole thread for the first time and was very disappointed when I realised I couldn't see the photo on Docket's profile.

Utterly brilliant!

[MiniMaxi]

Thank you Niffler - a worthy bump - that is incredible

[TheNiffler]

Bumping this because I've found the original pic of the bonnet. Can't have future generations of Mumsnetters being deprived of its glory.

[TheOriginalWinkly]

I've seen the first Easter bonnet making photos of the year on Facebook, so it must be time to bump this

[lunar1]

Save it for Halloween, just add some fake blood to the teeth! I love it.

[Parentingfailure]

Hillarious!

[5madthings]

Bump, this is fab!

[MyLatest]

You beat me to it Malcolm. The chick on the right with the fear addled eyes still makes me snort!

[PhoneSexWithMalcolmTucker]

Just bumping this for all the first time Easter bonneteers (like me) This is what you're aspiring to, people.

[needafavour]

Best hat ever!

I am crying with laughter that is SO VERY VERY funny Thanks Docket!
