Transform a Plain Hat Into Something Special

Did you know you can take an inexpensive winter hat and turn it into a smashing designer piece? You can! And it will be one-of-a-kind and uniquely yours!

Read on to see how...

I have a thing for hats. I don't know why - I don't really look good in them. But I saw this one and had to buy it. It won't just look cute, it will be warm in the winter...

I did wish it had a little more 'zip' and color, though. So I decided that I could fix that. Here's how:

You will need:

• a hat
• a button
• felted wool or felt
• scissors
• needle and thread

Cut a couple of flowers out of felted wool. You can use one or more colors.

Cut them in different shapes or identical ones - if you cut identical ones you will need to turn each one slightly when you layer them so they will create a layered look.

Sew the button in the middle and take several 'gathering' stitches to give the flower some depth.

All you have to do now is sew your flower onto the hat - voila! Beautiful!
