Process in making my Mushroom hat for a cosplay/competition

Idk if it counts as a cosplay, and tbh idek what the exact definition of a cosplay is. But it’s a mushroom :]

Basically what I’m doing is getting cardboard and making the cap of the mushroom as a hat :]

And I'm just going to wear some random mushroom-y clothes with it.

This is what I started out with:

Then I started rounding it out:



And now I need to add the fabric to it:

Very happy with how it's going so far, however whenever I ask my mother to help me or just to update her on it, she keeps saying not to put lots of effort into it and that it's "jUst A cOstUme" and that it'll probably get wrecked at school.

(My school's having a 'book week' (actually just a day, idk why it's called week) and I'm going as a mushroom because there's surely one mushroom person in some book)


Another issue is I have no idea how to sew. so yayay.... imma just freestyle it and see how good it comes out, if it's not nice i'll kms (/j I'll just want to die)



I’ve started putting the red fabric on top and have pinned it and everything, I basically just have to glue it down now.

  

with the white gills that I’m doing underneath, I still have to finish sewing the lace on, and after gluing it to the base I’m going to put some lace just around the outside ring of the hat if you get what I mean.
I’ll also put some beads on it to look like dew. Hopefully at least. It needs to be finished by tomorrow, but I also have two exams that day and honestly I should be studying for them instead of this, but I don't really care (I care quite a bit, it’s killing me on the inside, I’m going to fail them).



(I finished two days ago, but was just too lazy to update) (also sorry for the bad lighting)

Technically it isn’t finished because I wanted to add more to it, but my school thing was two days ago so I had to go with how it is now :]

I still came third in the school’s costume competition, so that’s nice, and my bf came second, so that’s also ✨amazing✨, he did a cosplay of L from Death Note which looked very good.

Apparently the only reason I came third was because I didn’t have a book I based the mushroom off (the school thing is called ‘book week’, were all the schools in Australia dress up as book characters, I just wanted an excuse to make a mushroom hat, which is why I didn’t have a book I was from)

What I was going to add was some lace around the rim of the cap and some clear-ish beads to look like dew on a spider web.
