HELP!!!! Need Hat Pattern
 

My best friend, collects the ole long Hat Pins (you know the ones used for self defense). I'm wanting to make her a Hat Wall Hanging to stick her pins on..maybe with a pin cushion?? or do I need to buy a ole hat ??

I really need some ideas ladies and men on this board would be able to help me, Please.

I have a pin cushion made from a kerr jar lid that looks like a hat...you could do some thing like that but on a larger scale

How about looking at coloring pages of womens hat. Might spark an idea. I can pic a ladies head with a real fancy hat ,netting over face. fancy ribbons or stitching on it. This would be appliqued onto a pretty fabric background.
Remember the little flowers vasrs with just a ladies head and hand. Something like that.

Here's 2 paper pieced ones & you could do them in whatever colour you like. http://www.paperpanache.com/free/simplereqs/Zreqs3.htm or here's another one:
