Saucer fascinators or perchers have become very popular recently. These large, beautiful fascinators are usually worn on one side of the head. These headpieces have a dome shaped ‘bump’ in the middle that fits nicely against the head. These fascinators are usually mounted on a headband, smaller pieces like this one can also be worn with a plastic hair comb.

This is a circular saucer fascinator hat block that comes with a dome-shaped head size presser. The presser is placed over the top of the hat block to form the ‘bump’. Place a weight on the top, this way it will be easier to pin the sinamay/ felt/ pari sisal round the rest of the block. Once the material has dried cut the desired shape. Usually milliners prefer an asymmetrical outline where one side of the fascinator is higher than the other. See the last picture of a sample saucer fascinator that was made using this hat block.
The presser is a multi-functional hat block on its own. Use it to create sinamay, felt, straw or buckram bases for your headpieces. As the dome matches the shape of the head, you can use it to make different freeform headpieces. The presser has 22″ circumference and you can purchase different extension and brim blocks from our collection to create full size hats with this hat block.
The base of the saucer hat block measures 24,5cm ( 9.6″) in diameter and stands 6.5cm (2.5″) tall. The presser block has a 2,4 cm (1″) hole bored in it for mounting on a work stand; it will fit on most hat block stands. The blocks have a lacquer finish to protect the wood.
This set of hat blocks is made from lime. This is a local tree that is widely spread in Northern Europe. It is a soft wood and easy to pin.
