Red hat appliqués are a great way to personalize and customize your red hat. If you’re a member of the Red Hat Society, then you already know the importance of releasing yourself from the confines of what matches and what doesn’t. Why not take it one step further and decorate your red hat to reflect your own personal style?
For a list of items and decoration ideas that will help you customize your red hat, keep reading.
Stick a Feather In Your Hat
Every red hat needs a feather. Whether it’s a ring of fake feathers plucked from a purple boa or a beautiful peacock feather perfectly placed, your hat will be fit to be tied.
To attach the feathers to your red hat, you can use a glue gun or actually sew the feathers onto it. Simply, wrap the thread tightly around the feather quill and through it once to secure it.
Buttons
Dig deep into your sewing box and you’ll likely find thousands of mismatched and lost buttons that are looking for a home. There’s that jeweled button from your favorite blouse or maybe the top button from your wedding dress - so, why not take those memories and add them as your new red hat appliqués? Simply sew each button on in a ring shape or any wild pattern that you like.
Trinkets and Baubles
A jeweled bead, a shiny trinket, a string of old pearls - they all work. Remember, anything goes on a red hat and the more eye-catching or over the top, the better. So, dig through those craft drawers and scrapbooking supplies and start digging up some “bling” for your next red hat project.
Go Full Bloom
Real or silk, flowers are a beautiful way to dress up your red hat. If you’re using real flowers, attach them with a ribbon or pin to hold them place, but loose enough that you can remove them at the end of the day or before they wilt.
Silk flowers, though not as fragrant, are a great substitute that will never wilt. You can attach them by sewing them in place or gluing them on. And remember, opt for something big, bold and positively stunning.
Purple Ribbon
The quintessential purple ribbon is a popular accessory on most hats belonging to members of the Red Hat Society. To add your own, simply pick up a strip of ribbon at any craft store and glue it in place at key points. Alternatively, you can sew it on.
Don’t forget to have fun with your red hat appliqués - this is a chance to express yourself, your memories and all the things in this world that are beautiful to you. Don’t worry about matching or looking great, just enjoy!
And in that enjoyment, part of the fun involves the creative and different looks of those hats among the women who meet together. This only adds to the enjoyment of the friendships already established and helps to make for another great gathering.
