An Easter Hat

March 29, 2013 By Laura 3 Comments

Before I start, I’ll just address the elephant in the room. Red isn’t an Easter color. But one of my inviolable Rules of Frugality states that I do not buy clothes that can only be worn once. So when I bought the girls’ Christmas dresses, I bought ones that were white with red (Christmas-y) flowers (Easter-y). See? But of course this could be easily adapted to a pastel dress as well.

I don’t know if this is cheating, but the white flowers came with the generic white hat from Target. I nipped off the little threads holding them on and glued them back where I wanted them.

As for the fabric flowers, I cut a piece about 4 1/2″ wide and 21″ long. I used two fat quarters of fabric and got five roses from each. After I cut the strips, I tied a knot in one end.

I then loosely twisted the fabric as I wrapped it around the knot, hot-gluing about every half-round.

I’d try a practice rose or two to make sure you’re gluing where it won’t be seen. Once I was done, I glued the roses on the hat, alternating with the white flowers.

I had some extra fabric flowers left, so I glued them on to hairclips.

A plethora of choices for Easter headgear!

Thank you for visiting Peace but Not Quiet! I’d love it if you’d like me on facebook and follow me on twitter.

    So very sweet! The bonnet and hair clip AND the little girls wearing them!

    The dress is lovely for spring and will work right through the summer 🙂

    Fun stopping by to visit with you!
    Kindly, Lorraine
