I made the Harry Potter Beauxbatons hat using this weird trick | Hat Blocking Hacks

Milliner (hat maker) makes Beauxbatons Harry Potter Goblet of Fire hat (designed and made for the film by Philip Treacy). In this video I will be modifying a plain crown block or poupee head using rope to create a pointy tip witch’s hat. I’ll also modify a mushroom brim block using hair rats. Then I’ll block and put together the whole hat using wool felt. I also made myself an authentic witch’s broomstick to complete the look.
