(WXYZ) - The hat that dazzled millions of people during the inauguration of President Barack Obama, is now being offered as a Christmas ornament. Aretha Franklin's stylish big-bowed hat was the inspiration for the glittery-glass ornament. The ornament's designer hopes it too will be a big fashion hit.
Curtis Posuniak is the brain-child behind the ornament. He says the minute he saw Aretha's hat he knew he wanted to make a tiny glass version of it.
They will cost $43 a piece and will be sold at Bronner's in Frankenmuth, the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn, some area gift shops and by email at
