Craft Project: Flowered Hat
|
| Mother's Day Flowered Hat |
Approximate Time: 20 - 30 min. will require additional time if you paint the hat
Supplies:
- used straw hat
- spray paint
- metal ring (optional)
- wreath wire (optional)
- silk flowers - can be previously used
- scissors
- quick-dry craft glue or glue gun
- pop-top ring from can, cafe curtain ring, or something similar
- small piece of wire or needle and thread
Instructions:
- Dig out an old straw hat or pick one up at a yard sale. Spray paint in color of choice and allow to dry.
- (Optional) Use wreath wire, which is very fine, to fasten a metal hoop to the bottom/back of the hat to keep the brim straight. I used a metal ring I pulled from an old lamp shade (waste not, want not) and it was perfect. Your hat may or may not need this addition.
- Cut the blossoms from several silk flowers and glue them to the hat where the "bowl" meets the brim. You can put them all around or just in a selected location. A ribbon bow can also be added, if it suits you.
- To add a hanger, you can glue the bottom section of a can pop-top pull, or sew a cafe curtain ring (or something similar) to the back.
