Quick DIY: Pom Pom Embellished Sun Straw Hat.

Hello there! So I found this little straw hat at the dollar store and  I thought it would be a bit of fun to spruce it up a bit. Something super quick and a bit simple so that it wouldn't be too much, so the addition of a few pom poms swiftly came to mind!

The Ingredients:
>> scissors
>> yarn sewing needle
>> yarn(s) of your choice
>> pom pom maker
>> straw hat

Create about 4-5 pom poms of varying colors!

Like these!

Trim the pom poms!

Thread your yarn and sew it onto the straw hat in random spots around the hat.

Like so! Set the rest of the poms poms around the hat and you are finished!

I think I'll pick up another hat and experiment a bit more!

HandMade: The Multi Hat.

Hello! I crocheted this cuffed grey, mustard yellow, cream and teal hat with 4 pom poms at the center of the hat. At first, I used this pattern for a scarf originally, but I couldn't help seeing it suit a hat much better! With the color combo idea I had applied to the scarf plan might switch to hats as well. I've been thinking about creating another crochet dress, it's been awhile since I have made one, so hopefully it turns out rad!
