DIY: kentucky derby hat

1st Step: Find a look you like.


{I chose Marisa Miller from the 2011 Kentucky Derby}

2nd Step: Find a hat and 2" thick ribbon. Secure ribbon around the hat with a glue gun.

**Note: I have found that pinning the ribbon in place it very helpful to secure the style.

Step 3: Cut ribbon into five 6" strips. Fold them into a  bow. Using the glue gun, glue the combined ribbons of the bow together in the center.

Step 4: Once dry, put on hat to figure out the bow(s) placement. Use glue gun to secure.

Step 5: Place center object (whether it's feathers, or a flower, or a charm) on hat. Once you have found the spot you want it, use a glue gun to secure in place.

Step 6: Add other finishing touches to the hat. Use pins to help get a good idea as to how the final product will look. Once you're satisfied, Glue in place and take out the pins.

Voila! Look accomplished! 

You are ready for any day at the races!
