Kentucky Derby Hat 2021

May 2, 2021 TheRefashStash

We have arrived to the 147th Kentucky Derby! I am so excited to share this years hat with you!

I had this old wool hat laying around. Yes, it looks too drab to be a Derby hat but stay tuned!

I started by removing the brown bow and ribbon.

This year I wasn’t too keen on wrapping a ribbon around the hat. Then I got to thinking…..maybe a row of feathers would be nice!

I started to hot glue the feathers around the hat alternating with purple and blue.

I found this floral arrangement netting in blue and used it almost as a bird cage veil connected to my hat.

Then I started gluing blue and purple flowers.

I almost never have a plan for my hat, I just start gluing and go from there!

Happy Refashioning, Crafting and Upscaling!!!

Hi there! Welcome to my little blog! My name is Marisa, phonetically that’s Marie-sa! My goal is to change the way you look at outdated clothes by making you think outside the stitch! I am a dental hygienist by trade but that leaves me longing to show my creative side and having something more fashionable to wear than scrubs! I have always been interested in fashion and for years I have been dabbling in creating my own clothes. Now is the time to seriously get into refashioning and encourage you to do the same! I hope this little blog of mine inspires you not to pass up those oversized unsightly pieces of clothing but to transform them into something beautiful! Happy Refashioning!
