Hannah has an AG book with craft ideas in it. It may be Groom Your Room. They had a hat holder idea for girl's, but it could be scaled for dolls as well. They used a painted yardstick & glued clothespins on it, then hung it on the wall. You then pin the edge of the cap & have a row of hats on your wall. They did it vertically, but if you had space it could be done horizontally. They sell mini clothespins at Michaels tht would work for the doll hats & you could use a standard ruler. I don't think it would work w/ all types of hats since they could potentially be marked by the clothespins (like a velvet hat).

I really like the clothes tree idea. That would make a sweet display piece as well.

I have found new hatboxes at many stores....Value City, Burlington Coat Factory, T.J. Maxx, Tuesday Mornings, and Michael's craft store (you could use the 40% off coupon they usually have in Sunday's ad). Most of them are cardboard & paper covered, but I have seen cloth covered ones on occassion. They have all types of designs available.

Fun thread. I love reading about dolly ideas. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]
