Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - supplies
 

Steps:

  1. I started out with an idea and went from there. So I cut the ribbon from the hat, and gathered my doilies and other supplies.
  2. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - cut ribbon from hat and gather doilies and other supplies
     
  3. I wanted the doilies to be the same style, but that didn't work. Also, I wish I had not put the pinks so close together, but live and learn. Once I knew all 10 of them would work, I glued them to the underside of the brim, about "mid doily".
  4. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - arrange doilies under the brim and then glue in place

  5. I wanted to represent all the spring colors, but only had 1 green and all the other colors had a twin, so I put it on the top.
  6. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - green doily glued to the crown of the hat
     
  7. Once the glue cooled, I found 6 perfect little yellow ribbons and attached them, adding buttons.
  8. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - attach little bows to the top doily
     
    Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - glue buttons to the center of the bows
     
  9. I realized the doilies were going to "flop" over on the top of the hat. So, I decided to just draw up the centers. That is when I realized they looked like butterflies! What a cool "discovery"! I initially used thread and a needle till I switched over to crochet thread.
  10. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - draw up centers of the doilies with thread to make butterflies
     
    Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - tie the thread and cut

  11. I used double crochet thread for each and then once cinched, I trimmed the thread to look like the antennae.
  12. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - trim thread to resemble antennae
     
  13. Next came button on the top and the lace. I wanted to crochet a band but sometimes the body doesn't have the 'umph' to do what the mind wants to. I still think it came out really cute. N-JOY!!
  14. Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - add a button to the center of the top doily
     
    Spring Hat and Butterfly Door Hanging - tie the lace around the crown

Nice job Sandi - very pretty and just in time for Spring.
I love refreshing items on my doors.
This looks like a "movie watching" project.
