Sinister Easter bonnet?

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?

Does look a bit scary, those fangs!

Superb bonnet. Has cheered me up no end.

bobbiewickham · 29/03/2010 17:48

I've never seen anything so fabulous.

That has made me laugh out loud for five solid minutes.

Am hyperventilating.

Docket, you are a warped millinery genius. I think I love you.

sneezecake · 29/03/2010 17:57

Docket that is bloody brilliant, I just love the teeth on the fox!

southeastastra · 29/03/2010 18:12

very good!

Shaz10 · 29/03/2010 18:16

That hat is brilliant.

Batteryhuman · 29/03/2010 18:19

Brilliant hat!

My Ds will be wearing an old tophat with stuff stuck on it at the last minute as usual. Usually pheasant tail feathers and sprigs of greenery. i like to think it is very "green man" pagan-fertility-ish but the yummy mummies with their elaborate pink and yellow creations will all think it is a bit shit.

bobbiewickham · 29/03/2010 18:19

This has GOT to go in Mumsnet Classics.

I will never forget this in a million years.

I remember the time my mother made me an Easter bonnet the year Charles and Di got married.

I had to go to school with a three tier wedding cake on my head.

But this beats it into a cocked hat (boom boom).

I'm 30 weeks pg and FULL of a cold and feeling pretty sorry for myself BUT I am now sat here in stitches at both the hat and people's comments. Thank you all.
There are so many tears DD has just asked me what was wrong!!

SeaShellsOnTheSeaShore · 29/03/2010 18:34
