Haberdashery

What will we need for the next meeting?

What will be the best way to make top hats?

The playing card method seems to be sturdy method. I'm sure we could make it taller with more flare.

What other methods could we use?
What materials do we need?

I imagine making a hat, then cutting out windows so that you can see inside the workings of the (cardboard) gears. Light it up at night (if the light rotated, it would look the gears are moving). Solar panel on top to charge during the day.

Or

Maybe we can work off of cylinder paper lanterns.

Maybe our camp name can be related to our brain gears - the Prognosticating Hatters, Gear Brains, The Calibrated Cranium Society... Some inspiration here?

We'll also make that master list of everything we need to buy, make and plan.
And think of party activities.
