Hats Off!

This is a basic straw hat from a thrift shop that cost $2.50.

This is the hat after.

I cut the brim down as well as the crown.

 After I cut the hat up I added trim to the brim, antique feathers, vintage velvet band,

 and silk and velvet hand rouched flowers.

Silly me forgot to take a before picture of this straw hat but realized it was in the background of the other hat picture:).

It was also found at a local thrift shop for about $2.

I decided to make it into a bonnet.

I added silk ribbon, lace, antique feathers,

and flowers.

Two of the flowers came from a craft store and the sequin one is from the 20's.

Each hat took about two hours to create with a total cost of about $10 each:).
