Embellishing a Hat

I'm sure you have all seen the little knit hats that come in a variety of colors for babies and young girls.  Last week I decided to look for a way to embellish them.  I found this cute pic on a blog.  The knit hats can be found for about $4.00.  Add some fun ribbon or tulle and weave it through the hat and tie a bow.  This is the perfect way to add some life to a hat and make the perfect outfit.

Family Reunion Month The Hat Tree- July

The Herman Family Reunion was recently held in Atchison, Kansas.  There were about 80 family members present.  There were even four generations in our family.  This is my husband's family.  He comes from a family of 7 kids and tons of very entertaining Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. 

My mom is an only child, and my cousins on my dad's side were about 15 years younger than me.  I really enjoyed the Herman Family Reunion, because I never got to appreciate all of that family.

In honor of Family Reunion Month, I wanted to share a few fun ideas that we did at our reunion.  So this week I will be sharing a fun idea every day.

The Hat Tree
  Everyone brought a hat, or made a hat, to wear.  We hung them on a tree, wore them around, swapped hats, just had fun.

Cousin, Mike, even created his hat out of duct tape!

This is a picture of my children and all of their cousins and second cousins.  The Hat Tree came in very handy.
