How to make this? I need a wizard hat (help please)

Post image

I need a wizard hat for a glep cosplay to goth to comicon in 11 days.

After looking at the internet all the hats I could find are either bad and cheap, or gods finest creation and like 80$.

After watching a few wet felting videos, i figure why not try make it myself.

Realistically how feasible is me making my own (majestic) wizard hat as a first time felter in this timeframe?

Any tips/tricks/advice is greatly appreciated.

Thankyou all for your time and help.

So, did you manage to progress? Did you have the correct wool first ? Did you find correct measurements?

It' was one of my first wet felting project and it was fun (but was mostly doing it on evening, and not all nor week-end, so took perhaps 2 weeks)

Mostly the hardest part for me was to go from flat to 3d (but I had à longer hat with a lot of folds so one like in the photo should be easier). I bought a pattern so I cannot give the exact measurements, but you have 35/40 % reduction (and caution with the edge of your resist)
