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?

Genius....pure unadulterated genius

bumping for anyone who hasn't seen the bonnet yet - that is The Best Thing since sliced egg sarnis, docket - compliments to your dh

I love this hat with all my heart.

That is so fantastic! I've had a day full of dd's runny poo and still not finished her bonnet. That's the best bonnet I'm ever likely to see.

bump for the late nighters

That is so funny, i have cried laughing at this thread. Love the terrified chicks!

It is THE best bonnet ever created! Brilliant!!

That is brilliant!

Good work !

I bet the teachers will be pissing themselves all day

surely you have to win the bonnet comp with that one!

I'm so glad I looked at this thread. Easter bonnet, I thought, what could possibly be so interesting about an Easter bonnet that so many people have commented on it.

And then I saw the photo.

This is the best Easter bonnet ever. Those teeth! The fox is sneering! The chicks are wide eyed and panicked, looking for an exit. The feathers scattered everywhere imply that they've already lost at least one little fluffy friend. They know there's no escape. They know that the shadow looking over them from behind is, in fact, their Certain Death.

Wonderful.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE OP, Come and tell us how it went down later.

Yes I definately want to know how it went and any reactions!

It is an amazing easter bonnet really original and simply fantastic

Sinister bonnet day!!! It's night time for me and I have been thinking about it all day, in fact I leapt out of bed this morning because I was all confused about when it was.

For the first time I'm wishing dd's school did Easter Bonnets so I could whip up something with Hugh FW on it, wringing a chicken's neck.

Wow - thanks so much for all the kind comments! This time yesterday I was in a right pickle, worrying about it being completely inappropriate. Of course, it probably is completely inappropriate but I feel better about it!

DH took DS1 to school this am with the bonnet. I shall be sure to report back later.

let's not call it a bonnet any more.

let's refer to it as the FrightHelmet.

That is the best bonnet/frightHelmet ever.

Showed the FrightHelmet to rest of family last night. We all pissed ourselves. No matter how many times I see it I still cry with laughter.

I want all the details. I have to go to bed soon. Do you get to watch the parade??? Ohhh the agony of waiting.

Brilliant! Am on bus sniggering!

This has kept me smiling all day - I'm wondering if it replaces the "bat pic" for a whole new generation of MNetters?!!

that is fantastic!!! brilliant can you make one for my two who need them by tomorrow - I was going to go with easter eggs!! soooo boring in comparison!

How did today go?!
