Begone and Become Bonnets

History:  What I was thinking when I purchased a stack of 16 of these straw hats. They were 99 cents at V.V. Boutique (Value Village.)

Looking at them, they are not suited to be hats at all.  The brim is not wide.  The crown is not tall.  Yes, you guessed it - these were made to have silk flowers and gingham ribbon added, then hung on the walls of frou-frou-country-bunny houses. 

Challenge: create a dozen (allows for 4 oopsie-daisies) historically inspired and/or Gothic Lolita bonnets.  Fabrics and embellishments to be used from my existing supplies/collection.
