DO YOU LIKE HATS? Hello everyone, do you like hats? I love hats and wear them almost all the time. This week I want to share some of my favorites from my collection and FROM around the web especial…
I've got a fun DIY/refashion tutorial on how to turn an old, cheap straw hat... (Which I foolishly forgot to take a proper "before" photo of, but it looked much like this one) .... Into a sassy, vintage-appropriate saucer hat! To make this revamped hat, you will need: Extra tip for choosing a hat for this project: I suggest a hat with a more "rectangular" rather than rounded crown, meaning a hat that is about the same width at the top as it is where it connects to the brim. So to begin the tutorial! First, separate the crown from the brim by cutting at the corner where the two meet: This leaves you with a straw "fez" and "donut": Note: My hat had a hat band in it that I left intact. Next, cut the "fez" crown piece and make it as short as you like. Mine was about an inch from the top. Extra tips: Don't follow one line of straw as you cut. Your hat is probably made from coiling straw braids, so you'll end up just swirling around and around your hat until you have a curly pile of straw ribbon! Also, I just eyeballed mine, but feel free to measure from the crown to get an exact measurement all the way around. This leaves you with a "fluffy pancake": Next, you're simply going to glue the new "fluffy pancake" crown to the brim you already have. My hat had a hat band, so I glued the new, short crown to the brim, then glued the hat band to the crown on the inside. If your hat doesn't have a hat band, I would suggest using a wide ribbon, bias tape, fabric, etc. on the inside in its place to strengthen it (and make it look neater inside). This will also keep real straw hats (I think mine is plastic) from raveling. Now for the fun part! It's time to decorate your hat! I used some lace trim and dried flowers, but you could use any supplies you fancy. Be creative! You could use fancy ribbon, fabric, silk flowers, felt shapes, fake berries, fresh flowers, anything you want, really! Extra tip: Straw makes a really good neutral hat that you can re-trim to coordinate with different looks. Be like the women of old and sew (using big stitches) or pin your accents and decorations on so you can remove them easily later if you want to try something new! And ta-da! You have a beautiful, one-of-a-kind hat to pin atop a fancy 'do! So what do you think? Do you think you'd be willing to try this sometime? If you have any questions or run into any snags, feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to find a solution with you! I adapted this tutorial from this one for a bergere hat by the Dreamstress.
