There's a great blog post on making a hat mount from pool noodles here
<https://collectionsconversations.wordpress.com/tag/hat-mounts/>.
Alternatively, you can create an armature out of chicken wire or a mount of
ethafoam blocks and cover it with soft cloth filled with tissue padding.
I'd love to hear any of the conservators on this list weigh in on the pool
noodle material.
