My Patriotic Cap

On Wednesday I showed you some cute patriotic items.

One of them was a darling hat that I wanted to order, but it wouldn't have gotten here in time.

So I decided to try to make one myself.

I picked up a plain ball cap at Wal-mart, some fabric and a flower from Hobby Lobby, 

and put them all together.

I attached everything with my hot glue gun.

Now I have something cute to wear on the Fourth!

Here's the inspiration hat.

If you'd like a hat like this, but don't want to make your own, here's the link back to this one.

I hope you all have a very happy Fourth of July!!

Take lots of pictures:)

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.

Summer Project Round Up

Today I'm revisiting some fun summer projects. . .

 

 

Have you been wanting a unique piece of luggage without spending a bundle?

Pick up a vintage suitcase and redo it to your liking.

You won't have a hard time spotting your luggage on the airport carousel if you have a one of a kind piece like this!

You can go here and here to see how to make a suitcase like this.

 

It's summer and sometimes it's too easy to just pop on a cap and head out.

Want a cute hat to wear out and about?

How about adding a fabric rosette to a plain cap.

Go here to see this project.

 

 

Summer is synonymous with baseball.

This bracelet is actually made from an old baseball.

 

 

You can actually make a keepsake to wear to remember an awesome trip

by making a necklace like this.

 

 

Of course, any round up by me wouldn't be complete without including a mini album of some sort.

This one features what we did throughout one summer.

I made it at the beginning of June using all sorts of random pages.

Then I was able to add photos and tidbits throughout the summer.

Such a fun and easy project. You can go here to see all the pages.

 

Hope you're all having a great summer!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

 

Say to God, "How awesome are your works!

Through the greatness of Your power

your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

Psalm 66:3

Hats Off To You!

 

I've stepped out of my box to try this project today.

No, I didn't make the cap, but I did jazz it up a bit with some lace and fabric.

 

The cap I had was cute, but I didn't want to sport a Frito Lay hat.

I used a seam ripper to tear out the embroidered letters.

 

Want to "girlie" up a cap for yourself? All you need is:

cap

fabric strip

lace

3 pearl beads

fabric glue

glue gun

 

Start by making a fabric rosette using the fabric strip and fabric glue. If you don't know how, you can go here to learn how to make one.

Use your glue gun to attach lace to the back of your rosette. You just need a little bit peeking around the edges.

Glue three pearl beads to the center of the rosette.

Glue your rosette on the side of your cap.

That's it, my friends!

 

What do you think?

 

I do believe this will come in handy on bad hair days!

 

If you like this rosette project, you can go here to see how to make a rosette necklace, here to see how to make a rosette bracelet, and here to see a rosette wreath.

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High
