Let's Make This Thrifted Hat ✨FANCY✨ || $1 hat gets a quick & easy makeover!

Let's take a 100% wool hat I found at a thrift store for $1 and give it a makeover. I took inspiration from Alexa.Lynne on Instagram to breathe new life into this floppy hat. It's surprising how easy this way, and it only about 3 hours!

Very mysterious medieval traveller vibes! Glad your craft fair went well xx

[@KatieMakesStuff]

I agree! I think it can give so many vibes depending on styling.

[@anne-marie9842]

That’s so great, and much better than baseball hats! I love hats and have a few, but live in a very windy area so don’t wear them as often as I like. Thank you Katie for your inspiring content. Greetings from New Zealand.

I love my baseball hats but they are not stylish at all. I suppose if I'm going to try to up my aesthetic, I should include my headwear in that!

[@dianajemison105]

I like it. It's my style, but I just know someone is going to love it. What I love is that snowy scene at the beginning of the video. Beautiful! We don't get that here. We get a few flakes every few to many years.❄️

[@KatieMakesStuff]

The snow was a big surprise and I HAD to use it before it melted.

Love the idea to pimp a hat, I wear them all the time (have 18 of them) but some just look cheap.
I did a hatmaking intership for 6 months (20 years ago) and was looking at molds to start hatmaking again, but really I don't have time for another hobby.
Replacing the inner band will hurt your fingers with regular band, leather will be rough. Good luck

[@Stormy38044]

This is great! Totally get wanting to do a craft purely based on the textile alone. I wonder if you could incorporate some of those leather scales if you decide to make another one in the future??

[@KatieMakesStuff]

OOOOHH that's such a great idea! Going to do this ASAP.

[@Stormy38044]

@@KatieMakesStuff yesssss, enjoy! 😀😀

[@sarahmeadows5432]

Super cute! Love the embellishments

[@KatieMakesStuff]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@pinky_t7061]

Ahhhh... I LOVE it! It's so good 😊

[@KatieMakesStuff]

THANK YOU!!

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Thats so cool!

[@KatieMakesStuff]

Thank you!!

That’s a sweat band inside. You don’t want leather

[@KatieMakesStuff]

Leather is the traditional/historic choice for sweatbands in caps. They tend to hold up better to the moisture and oils than synthetic materials.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm....
