Add Some Glitter to Your Hat

August 21, 2014 by Jessica Leave a Comment

This is my second project for this months Cricut Design Space Star challenge.  Our team chose to go with fashion and picked “pop of color” for the theme. I have noticed that hats have become very popular lately and while I don’t really wear this style, I still think it’s cute and I knew it would look good on my girls. So I decided to find one I could glitter up a bit. And how else should I do that but with some glitter iron on vinyl cut into a word or phrase. Two trends in one project!

This was a really quick project and you can take this idea in so many directions. I used my Cricut Explore™ to get the “hello darling” cutout. I searched a lot of what they had and felt this fit the best for my girls hat. It is actually a graphic with a wreath around it. To get rid of the extra drawing part, I hit the contour button in the box where you see graphics you have on your project page. Then I chose the parts I didn’t want and clicked off to the side to exit. I sized it to fit this kids hat and made sure to choose the “mirror image” option before cutting. A tip on cutting glitter vinyl: I have found this vinyl a little harder to cut than regular vinyl. I put it a notch or two past the iron on vinyl choice to make sure it cuts through. You will also need to use a tool to help get out the little tiny pieces.

I cut the words apart so I could iron on one at a time. That made it easier since it’s a bit more difficult to iron onto a curved hat.

I like how the glitter adds a little specialness to the hat. I really want to try to find a hat with floral on the front to do another one. Let me know if you see one somewhere, okay? 🙂
