Hey everyone! April's hat is based on adorable Marie from 'The AristoCats'. My favorite and super cute movie. I based my birthday last year on Marie, as she is sweet, sassy and cute. I had to make a hat inspired by Marie because I needed an extra big bow hat. So, I hope you guys enjoy this one, it turned out so well, exactly what I wanted.
Thanks for coming back and watching!
