It's spring! It's time for a new hat!
I have just the thing to decorate my new hat - ribbons from Gwen Studios!
I found this lightweight hat at walmart.com. It comes in five colors.
This versatile hat has so many ways that it can be embellished. Here's what I did.
First, I wove a 3/8" grosgrain ribbon through the holes in the edge of the hat. I used a safety pin to weave it, but you could do it with your fingers or a large eye needle. Then, I hot glued the edges together underneath.
Then, I glued a large peony to one side.
I added a couple of leaves from the peony stem, then glued loops of ribbon behind the peony. To make a loop, simply cut a length of ribbon and fold it in half. Add hot glue to the ends and tuck it in behind the flower. I used more of the 3/8" grosgrain in light pink and a darker pink grosgrain 7/8" wide.
