That Time I Made Hat Patches and SUCCESSFULLY Put Them on a Hat

23 05 2023

You guys, I’ve been trying for a WHILE to put designs on hats. Every now and then I pull it off. But more often than not, I end up wasting hats and time. I usually end up with a crease that makes the cap look bad 🙄

In the past I bought patches to sublimate onto to then put on the hat, hoping that was the answer. It wasn’t, not like I’d hoped.

But today was different!

I spent the weekend looking up tutorials on making my own patches and applying those to hats and it worked!

In the summer, we try to take the kids on a trip. It usually involves a family reunion, then some time for our immediate family to explore. I like decorating bags for the kids to take to keep their things in. And sometimes I go a little crazy…like this year.

This year there are water bottles, shirts, drawstring backpack tags, backpacks, and, you guessed it, hats.

I didn’t have really high expectations for these caps because of past experience. But boy howdy! I didn’t mess up ANY of them. Not even the practice one lol.

And since I’m super excited that I finally did something that worked like it was supposed to, I’m sharing it lol

So, here you go. Custom hat patches onto a variety of colors of baseball cap and even a bucket hat.

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXOXO





That Time I Sublimated a Wind Spinner

2 05 2023

I just started playing around with wind spinners, and I might be a little in love lol

This is the first one. I see places I need to adjust for next time, but my mind is swirling with ideas now 😀

Also, numbers are hard. And I don’t always consider them when buying items like this. So I bought 10 inch wind spinners, but my printer can only print about 8.25 inches wide. So now I get to learn how to piece together images to make one large one so I can fill the entire wind spinner 😀

I’m thinking about using something like this for Mother’s Day, but I also think something like the 4th of July would be really cool on these, too. But this one is going in my garden ❤️

I wish I could post videos, because it’s really neat to watch it spin. It’s kind of mesmerizing 🙂 Maybe I need a YouTube channel for videos to link to, lol

Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

XOXOXO

I make these for a $20 donation to Paws 4 Autism. If you’re interested in one, let me know and we’ll make sure you get one. I can put all sorts of things on these 😀
