I always enjoy creating with these Peat Pots !
They are so inexpensive and look great with any project you decide to create using them!
I love how quick this Red White and Blue Hat came together!
You can use them across your mantle or on a shelf , or your seasonal tree!
These are only a few suggestions!
Here’s the Supplies you will need :
• Peat Pots
• wire
• Wooden or metal Star
• scissors
• Hot Glue
• red white and blue napkin ( or material)
• Blue paint ( I used chalk paint) you can use whatever blue you have on hand.
• cardboard
•Elmer’s clear glue
• cinnamon
• raffia
• glitter
• Dixie Bell wax Brown
Your hat doesn’t have to be exactly like this one . Choose the look you like most .
That’s the wonderful thing about crafting it all looks unique and customized to you!
These are just the items I used for mine .
If you don’t have Peat Pots you can easily use a small clay pot or a styrofoam cup .
I used Home decor nautical Chalk paint .
I cut circles from a piece of cardboard I was making more then one .
Decide what size you want your rim of your hat to be .
I used a lid to trace my size out .
I had this napkin on hand .
Keep in mind you can use scrapebook paper, or material.
I love using this glue it never disappoints!
I brushed it on my Peat Pod and covered it with my napkin.
I glued my napkin and this is the bottom of my pot.
I then glued the edges down inside the pot.
Once I was done and it was dried I glued the pot to the cardboard rim !
Already looking cute!
Since my napkin had these adorable stars I used a piece of it and glued it on too.
You can easily paint a little square with the same blue you used and paint some small stars on it .
It’s all about being creative. 😀
I had made some twine awhile back with material so it was perfect for a little trim for the top of my hat .
You can use ribbon or regular Jude for this step , or just leave it plain .
I then painted a ban around my hat with the same blue I used.
While my hat was drying I got my wooden star and painted it brown I used acrylic paint (Burnt Umber) .
I also sprinkled cinnamon on it to give it that rusty look.
While it was still wet I went ahead and sprinkled the cinnamon.
After I put the cinnamon on I took my Elmer’s glue and put a coat of it on top .
Then I sprinkled my glitter.
While my star was drying I lightly sanded my Hat rim .
I took some raffia and I put some around my hat .
I also added a raffia bow!
So cute!
I love it already!
Here’s my star ready to be glued on!
Look how adorable so festive!
Add this point you can decide if you want to add a hanger on it ?
I did so I cut a piece of wire and attached it on .
If you decide to use a clay pot you will probably want to leave it without it.
I love it !
Of course I had to grunge it up alittle!🤣
I used my favorite Dixie Belle wax on brown. ( you can use brown paint for this step as well if you choose to do this)
Here it is !
