Reading the actual description, the original creator used cut up cinder blocks and liquid nails. You can also use heave duty canvas, mesh, or concrete board and liquid nails to get the same effect. I’d probably use the canvas or metal mesh so that moisture would not collect, but note that the canvas will have to be replaced as it can deteriorate over time.</p> <p>-v.</p>http://homemadecrap.com/post/43005906083http://homemadecrap.com/post/43005906083Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:02:10 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bced3b6740ee7791fc6a969a856239c5/tumblr_mhx6fn3JeS1qext6ao1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Finally!

I’d suggest using a “Shell Stitch” hat pattern (which can be Googled), and alternate the colors. It will give a similar effect. Then just embellish like you would for the owl hat…ie, ears, nose, eyes, etc.</p>http://homemadecrap.com/post/29488706801http://homemadecrap.com/post/29488706801Wed, 15 Aug 2012 10:17:45 -0700<p>thanks! sorry I haven’t been posting like I use to, but Olive is definitely keeping me busy…Oh, and I’m expecting another little girl in just 6 weeks.
