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?

Have just re-read this thread, was hilarious the first time round and I've just PMSL again!! Utterly brilliant!

Is your DS going to be wearing it to school again this year docket?

[LunaticIsOnTheGrass]

I'd forgotten about this

PMSL

[NorksAdrift]

I've just done a full on five minute silent shoulder-wracking laugh at those chicks. My DS is getting quite shirty with me. He's watching telly and apparently I'm not being quite silent enough.

Docket your DH you are a bonafide hatting genius. I can't believe you didn't win. You were robbed.

[BlooferLady]

I didn't know it was possible to laugh until you gag

Docket please come back and show us this year's efforts!

[HopeForTheBest]

This needs to be revived around now, doesn't it?

Makes me snort with laughter every year, without fail. :o

[Queenofcake]

That is the fabbiest Easter Bonnet ever!!!

Have you made one this year??

[StateofConfusion]

Pure genius, fantastic bonnet

[mrsalwaysawake]

Oh me oh my. Just been pointed to this thread. The bonnet is a-ma-zing, and terrifying. You are definitely a genius of hattery. The chicks eyes!

Some of these comments are hilarious! Hat is brilliant! :D

[blapbird]

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

[needafavour]

Best hat ever!

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

[MyLatest]

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

[5madthings]

Bump, this is fab!

[Parentingfailure]

Hillarious!

[lunar1]

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

[TheOriginalWinkly]

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

[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.

[MiniMaxi]

Thank you Niffler - a worthy bump - that is incredible

[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!

[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?

[RedStripeIassie]

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

[Jux]

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.

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