How To:
1. Spray glitter. You can build this up to be more opaque, or apply a light sheer layer. You can also use one, or more colors to create the look you’d like. (…do this outside, obvi)
^ Allow this to FULLY dry in between each layer!!!! Multiple light layers are best if you choose to build this up/add multiple colors.

2. Apply a clear sealant/top coat to ensure glitter is durable and has longevity.

3. Using your e6000 or fabric glue, apply your lettering in front and/or back where you’d like…

4. Using the same glue, use this in sections around the rim of the hat, (a strip of glue, then a strip of the rhinestones, repeat… ) You will need the time in between each to set your sections…I found using clips/clothes pins helped keep the rhinestone in place while drying.
*PLEASE ALSO USE THIS GLUE OUTDOORS/WELL VENTILATED AREA*

5. Let this all set for 24 hours …then you’re ready to ROCK IT 😉 !!


you also have the option of buying pre-made hats as a base to work with, …(or to wear as is if you’re not really the DIY type or maybe want something a bit more simple 😉
