Pillbox hat accessory

This is the second (and last) post that I owe for the day. I saw these little hats are coming back, but I don’t see the point in buying one. So for half the price, I got some materials and made my own!

Materials:
Cardboard box (small) in shape of choice ($1, Michael’s)
1/4 yd tulle in your choice of color (varies)
Elmer’s glue ($1)
Sequins ($2.50 at Joann Fabrics)
Hot glue gun
Hair clip or head band (whichever you want to affix the finished product to)
Paint in color of choice (varies)
Paintbrush

Take the top of the box and paint it

Once that is dry, do a second coat.

Dab a little bit of glue on the bottom of a sequin and then place it on the hat.

Eventually (it will seem like forever, believe me), it will look something similar to this

Add your tulle to the bottom of it using the hot glue gun

And then affix it to your hair accessory of choice. That’s it. (I lost my hair accessory of choice, so that’s why I’m holding it)
