Has anyone tried this?

I am on a serious new-supply fast while I take some inventory of my craft/fabric stash. I'd like to do some millinery, but realized I have no buckram. I DO however, have a TON of really light weight crinoline. I bought it when I was doing some ribbon flower work, and would use the crinoline as a backing to mount groups of flowers on

Absolutely! This lady did it with fabric stiffener and glue:

I don't think there'd be much need to quilt it together; the glue/starch ought to work just fine by itself. Maybe stitch around the edges if the pieces will have a lot of handling before the form is assembled. It might take some experimentation to figure out the right number of layers and type of stuff.

You could try just *slightly* dampening the crinoline pieces and stacking them together. The glue should adhere to the other piece as it dries.
