Things You'll Need:
- Basic straw hat
- Dried or silk flowers
- Wooden Easter eggs and bunnies (or other decorative novelties)
- Wire-edged ribbon
- Hot glue gun
-
Step 1
Select wire-edged ribbon and dried or artificial flowers to complement the spring color palatte of your Easter outfit. Measure the circumference of the crown of your bonnet and cut the ribbon to the correct size.
-
Step 2
Use your glue gun to attach the ribbon at the base of the hat's brim until ends meet. Secure the ends with hot glue. Alternately, you may secure ribbon with a hat pin.
-
Step 3
Glue flowers and wooden egg or bird shapes, or other Easter novelties around the brim of the hat, leaving portions of the decorative ribbon exposed.
-
Step 4
Make a multi-loop bow from additional ribbon, gluing it onto the side or front of the hat. If you have excess ribbon hanging from the bow, tack it to the bonnet brim with hot glue to avoid having it dangle in the wearer's face.
-
Step 5
Don your new Easter bonnet for church services, Easter brunch or an Easter parade to celebrate the return of new life with the blossoms of spring.
