A Christmas Hat for Gene Marshall
Appearing on the cover of the December issue of Dea, an Italian fashion magazine, Hollywood film star icon Gene Marshall debuts a delightfully festive Christmas tree hat. Her black cashmere coat is from Robert Tonner. Fur muff and gloves are from Ashton Drake. Hat, silk jersey ascot, earrings, and bow pin are from The Couture Touch. Cocoa Crisp Gene Marshall is from Integrity.
Miss Marshall's personal wardrobe stylist used a green pipe cleaner as the base for her whimsical hat. Trimmings included a miniature red tinsel garland, greenery accented with berries, a red bird, and a recycled bow. In the still above, a gold pipe cleaner tree is ready to trim. Begin shaping the hat by first measuring approximately 4-5/8" from one end of a 12" long pipe cleaner. [Measurement can be adjusted depending on head size.] Form a circle and secure the end by overlapping 1/4". Continue winding into a spiral as shown above. Decorate as desired. The hat is attached with one of Miss Marshall's "hatpins".
