Today we went to one of my favorite antique malls and I kept seeing similar display stands for vintage hats. It's the first time I have seen these and knew that my friends and fellow bloggers who sell in/at antique stores and shows would love these! This one was made with lamp bases - they put a round Styrofoam ball at the top, they covered it with material or doilies and ties it with ribbon.
Some were candle stick bases, some were vases with a dowel in the center.
Someone had even used a vintage plant stand and put the Styrofoam balls in each pot area.
I thought they were soooooo clever that I had to share!
Who thought you could take a lamp and make ahat stand!
Makes me want to buy some hats to make them lol!

ReplyDeleteWow I have never thought of this .
How very creative.
Thank you so much for sharing this great discovery.
I love old vintage hats but only have a few hat stands .
This has opened up all kinds of new possibilities.
Thank you so much.
Happy trails

Hi Jo, Love the blog - great ideas. Will definitely try using the lamps - they are so cute! The plant stand and also, a candlelabra have worked also.
