How to Make a Hat With Flowers



There are many kinds of hats with

flowers


, but one of the prettiest is the garden party hat. Many outdoor
weddings
feature this style of flowered hat worn by bridesmaids and sometimes the bride. A summer garden party is another opportunity to wear a showy hat with flowers. It isn't hard to turn a simple straw hat into a beautiful hat with flowers.









Step
1



Purchase a big-brimmed, floppy straw hat. Choose either a straw-colored one or a pretty pastel straw hat.




Step
2



Wrap sheer nylon netting around the hat or drape with a fancy scarf or satin ribbon to make an interesting hat band.




Step
3



Pick large, realistic-looking silk flowers and hot glue or pin them on the hat band. Flowers that are especially showy include roses, hydrangeas, poppies, peonies and other large flowers. Tuck a little greenery in with the flowers.




Step
4



Clip fancy jewelry to the scarf or band if desired.




Step
5



Use more of the same netting to make a veil for added interest.




Step
6



Incorporate feathers or lace among the flowers for additional charm.




Step

Use one huge single flower or a cluster of flowers all around the band to make a stunning hat with flowers.
