Altered Hat with Tracy Sagriff

Today's project is a little bit steampunk and a whole lot of shabby chic. The pretty colours and fun diecuts make this project come to life.


Begin by painting the entire hat with rose gold. Be sure to get the bottom of the brim.

Once dry paint use white paint from the brim of the hat to the edge of the faux hat band. Then paint the uppermost part of the brim white.

Distress  the paint using sandpaper or wire brushes. 

Use the rose gold paint and the stencil to create a pattern over the white paint.

Apply dollar store gems around the top and bottom of the faux hat band.

Paint the bird and pocketwatch pieces bronze.

Paint the leaves and flourish with green and turquoise.

Arrange rolled paper flowers and adhere to hat. 

Adhere the remaining pieces as desired.
