Due to recently teaching myself how to make iron-on and sew-able patches, I've been busy embellishing hats, visors, shoes, boots, shirts, jeans, etc. The first hat was for myself, the boots were for my Mom, well I think you get the idea. Now I have started receiving customized order requests!
It is so much fun I simply loose track of time. Crafty creations are definitely my passion.
The inspiration for my first hat came from a hat I saw at the hospital. My Mom was having surgery. Jeremy, my brother, and myself wanted to find Mom a special gift. We happened upon a jewelry and accessories event. Several women were selling inexpensive items priced at $1, $2 and up. Needless to say, it was huge hit with the women, teens and girls.
When I was shopping for Mom, since brother was no help at all, I found the hat! I stopped in my tracks. Knew instantly, I had to have one. Then I found the hats with no embellishments, and thought I can make my own design! Oh, the joy!
I love making my own crafty creations. This hat had to be my next crafty creation! I purchased a pink, vintage, military hat.
It took two months for me to give up on finding a cross patch I loved on sight. The search included retail stores, craft stores, online stores, no one had a patch anything close to the one I saw at the hospital.
Then it came to me, make your own! Off to the Michael's and Hobby Lobby I go. A few hours later, I have my first cross patch. I was so excited I made my husband pause his game to check it out. Of course, he thought I had lost my mind! However, by the time I finished my hat, he seemed pretty impressed.
So here you go, this is the first hat I embellished with a blue jean cross, my initial c on the side and a heart on the back. Bling bling is included from front to back for an extra special touch.
Here is a pic of the back...
And then my niece wanted a hat...
And then I received my first customized order request...
Now many hats later, this is my latest cross hat design. It includes more of a 3-D look and stands out beautifully! The colors were selected for a customized order. I hope you like it....
And this is the back...
