Things needed:
* Scraps of felt.
* Hat or item you want to embellish.
* Needle and Thread.
* Scissors.
The plain hat looked like this:
Cute, plain navy little hat, just waiting to be transformed mildly. |
I chose giraffes as I know the new owner of the hat is partial to them, in the way we all have favourites and I have some nice scraps of orange felt in excess from when I made cat toys for Christmas. I carefully folded the felt, faintly traced my desired shape and snipped them out with my sewing scissors, taking care not to tear the delicate pieces. I sewed them on using embroidery thread and decorated it with French knots for the horns and simple stitches for the wildly inaccurate but pretty effective giraffe pattern.
The result so far! I am still playing around with the idea with putting his name on it somewhere in the middle as it looks a little vacant but I am happy with this.
