How to Make a Flower Jeweled Sun Hat

Little girls will love wearing a cute and funky jeweled sun hat that they make by themselves, with only a little help from you. It's a great way to have some fun, and to make sure your little darling's face is protected from the bright rays of the sun.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• White canvas hat
• Craft jewels, round, in various colors
• Fabric glue
• Small sponge brush
• Orange and yellow fabric paint
• Waxed paper
• Foam stamps in large and small flower shapes
• Waxed paper
• Plastic tablecloth or other protective covering

1. Determine what part of the hat will be painted, and place a piece of wax paper under that area to keep paint from soaking through to the other side of the hat.

2. Paint the foam stamps with bright yellow fabric paint and press a few flowers on the front of the hat. Make several smaller flowers with small stamps and bright orange fabric paint.

3. Allow it to dry, and glue a round craft jewel in the middle of each flower.

4. Glue more craft jewels around the hat, in a wave pattern or any pattern that you like.

5. Allow the jeweled sun hat to dry completely before you wear it.

Tips & Warnings

• You can make sun hats for boys, too. Just devise an appropriate pattern, and use colors to go along with the pattern
• Be sure to use glue made especially for fabric. Other glues, including hot glue gun, won't adhere to fabric for very long.
