A scarf or a feather both add flair to your straw hat.
You can easily personalize your basic straw hat with a little creativity and a poke around the house for any unused accessories or decorations. Or, take a trip to your local craft store to find these accessories.
Instructions
1. Tie a thin ribbon (no more than 3/4 inch wide) in a neat bow around the head of the hat for a feminine touch. Use the hot glue to keep the ribbon in place if it is slipping.
2. Tie a scarf in a knot around the head of the straw hat. Let the ends hang down for a more casual look. The scarf should stay in place on its own.
3. Attach feathers or silk flowers to the hat with the hot glue gun. Keep them in a bunch on only one side of the hat to avoid it looking tacky.
4. Use the hot glue gun to attach buttons to your hat, either in one row around the head of the hat or in a pattern on the brim of the hat.
5. Attach a brooch or brooches to the hat by their pins. Keep them in a cluster on one side of the hat or on the back for a chic style.
6. Wrap a colorful string of beads (or more than one, if you wish) around the head of the hat, and secure in place with the hot glue if it is slipping. Tie the string off or glue the ends down.
