If I had a nickel for every time my mom has warned “the sun is not your friend,” I could retire tomorrow.
Honestly. Instead, my closet is full of sun hats, fedoras, cowboy hats, visors, and various other sun shielding apparati. While it may not suffice as an alternative to sunscreen, kudos to Lola Ehrlich for transforming a simple straw hat into a chic stitched fedora and inspiring us to add a little pizzaz to one of our many hats! Supplies List Start by cutting the ribbon or band off the hat. Pull the thread through the back side of the hat, leaving an inch of slack. Using the brim as a guide, start stitching along the edge of the hat.
Pick another color and stitch several rows along the band of the hat. Give it some character by adding a little something along the band . . . why not? Your stitched fedora is finished!

Then, we crushed hard on this Maison Michel metal spiked hair comb spotted on Elena Perminova in Paris. Perhaps we can blame our attraction on our stegosaurus obsession (yes, this is true). Or it could simply be because these spiked hair accessories are so badass and bananas (also true). Either way, a DIY was definitely in order. You’ll need: Start by adding a small amount of liquid super glue to one end of the comb. Glue another spike to the other end of the comb. Continue glueing each spike, alternating from one side to another. Stick the spiked comb in a bed of teased and tousled hair! Wire Birthday Crown DIY.

Step 2: Gently straighten a length of wire sized to your child’s head. Step 3 (optional): If you’re using non-jewelry pliers like me, you may want to stick some felt over the teeth. Step 4: Form the crown base into a circle with your long piece of wire you just cut out.
Step 5: Gently straighten out some fresh wire from off the roll. Step 6: Bend this metal in half (I used my ruler to get the exact middle) against your thumb fingernail. Step 7: With pliers, bend the ends up about a 1/4 inch and spread out the point ends about 2 inches apart. Step 8: Attach crown points to base by hooking the bent ends under the base. 14 Comments.
