Red Hat Appliqués: Appliqués and Other Ideas for Making Your Own Red Hat
Custom Search
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.
Feathers
No red hat is complete without at least one beautiful feather. Jazz up your look with a gorgeous peacock feather or play it down with a dashing red cardinal feather. To attach feathers to your red hat, you can either glue them to the hat or actually sew them on, essentially sewing around the quill of the feather tightly to attach it to the hat.
Buttons
Have a button collection that's overflowing? Getting rid of an old blouse with beautifully jeweled buttons? It's time to start using them as your next red hat appliqués. Simply sew the buttons on to your red hat, just as you would on to a shirt. If you can't sew through your hat, then opt for a little glue.
Beads 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.
Flowers
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.
For silk flowers, you can often pin, glue or sew the flowers on to your hat. Remember, the bigger the better and always choose red or purple.
Purple Ribbon
The red hat with the purple ribbon is quintessential, an invocation of the Red Hat Society logo and image. So, for your red hat adornment and decoration, you can go as simple as a flat, purple ribbon – just make sure it's satin.
Remember, red hat appliqués are about expressing yourself and letting go. So, don't be afraid to adorn your hat and yourself with all the things you find beautiful (ribbon, flowers, beads, buttons or feathers), even if they don't match at all.
