Though this sweet little hat and collar are surprisingly simple to make, we still consider it an intermediate craft. The base of the hat is crafted from felt, a wonderfully versatile material that cuts and adheres beautifully. And, with a little hot glue and some strategic stitching, you'll have a stunning costume for your little one in no time!

This Felt Vintage Flower Hat is a great way to practice your embroidery, a skill that's both practical and endlessly fun. Embroidery allows you to personalize almost any project with beautiful stitching, adding a touch of texture and dimension. In fact, with just a few basic stitches, you can embellish everything from jeans and bags to banners and napkins! Additionally, embroidery is a relaxing and meditative activity, perfect for unwinding after a long day.

While our very adorable model is capped in a light pink hat, this project is totally customizable. Don't be afraid to lean into the season by choosing felt colors that reflect your favorite autumn hues – think rich burgundy, sunny mustard yellow, or a palette of earthy greens and browns. You can further personalize the hat by adding additional embroidered details, like little leaves or swirling vines. Pair it with a matching dress or a cute solid twin set, and you'll undoubtedly have the prettiest flower in the garden.

We'd love to see your creativity in action once you've finished your Felt Vintage Flower Hat! Please share your photos with our crafters' community or post them on Instagram with the hashtag #MadeWithLia.
