Be Dazzled By The Hat

The final product - bedazzled hat! It's cheap and easy to do!

I had a basic blue winter hat from Burlington Coat Factory and I really wanted to spice it up. 

My mom bought me a GeMagic bedazzling kit off Ebay for a Christmas gift, a fun tool that lets you place rhinestones and studs wherever you want them. The kit came with several different stud embellishments to choose from.

I chose rhinestones and solid circular shaped studs and began adding them to the hat. 

The inside of the hat shows how the studs attach to the material like a claw through the backside of the fabric. 

I just added the studs however I pleased, in no particular order and made it up as I went along. 

Here's the finished hat! 

I loved my other hat so much I decided to add stud embellishments to my MSU beanie too! 

Summer's Gone... many more to come!

Yesterday was officially the first day of Autumn. Being a summer lover the end of Summer is always tough to grasp. Lately, it's been chilly here in Michigan so I've been wearing pants a lot more than I'd like to. I love finding the good in all things, on a positive note it is football season!! I was able to go to my first Michigan State University football game yesterday, GO GREEN! (Note the rainbow over the scoreboard, right before the rain started.)

I picked up this MSU hoodie earlier in the week at Plato's Closet, where I'm currently working. My excellent customer service earned me 100 points and I was awarded a $25 store gift card. With my employee discount I scored this awesome Spartan gear for only $5.14!
