I didn't follow the materials suggested which obviously, I think, made the finished project saggy and bouncy. Then I read your suggestion on how to stiffen it. I will definitely try that! Thanks!
By the way, can I use wheat flour instead of cornstarch? How many spoons of flour did you use?
Thank you very much. The pattern is from freepatterns.com and it's called Pineapple Suite Hat. I had to starch it really, really hard to keep the shape firm but I advise you to make the brim smaller. For stiffening I cooked flour and some sugar with water.
Neat, thanks!
And while it may seem obvious, I've never thought about making my own starch for such things. That would be a great Instructable on its own... ;)

This project really looks so lovely. I made mine using light and dark yellow shade (darker for the popcorn stitches). Here's the link of my project: http://thegirlandhercamera.blogspot.in/2014/08/pin...
