With a Dollar Tree hat, buttons, lace ribbon, and mini doilies, you can make this. And it looks so pretty on your door!
Total Time: 2-3 hours
Yield: 1
Supplies:
- 1 Dollar Tree hat ($1.00)
- 7 buttons ($.25)
- 10 mini doilies ($5.00)
- 5 ft crochet thread ($.10)
- 6 ribbon bows ($.25)
- 2 ft lace ($.10)
- 1 darning needle
- scissors
- 1 Stick hot glue ($.10)
Steps:
- I started out with an idea and went from there. So I cut the ribbon from the hat, and gathered my doilies and other supplies.
- I wanted the doilies to be the same style, but that didn't work. Also, I wish I had not put the pinks so close together, but live and learn. Once I knew all 10 of them would work, I glued them to the underside of the brim, about "mid doily".
- I wanted to represent all the spring colors, but only had 1 green and all the other colors had a twin, so I put it on the top.
- Once the glue cooled, I found 6 perfect little yellow ribbons and attached them, adding buttons.
- I realized the doilies were going to "flop" over on the top of the hat. So, I decided to just draw up the centers. That is when I realized they looked like butterflies! What a cool "discovery"! I initially used thread and a needle till I switched over to crochet thread.
- I used double crochet thread for each and then once cinched, I trimmed the thread to look like the antennae.
- Next came button on the top and the lace. I wanted to crochet a band but sometimes the body doesn't have the 'umph' to do what the mind wants to. I still think it came out really cute. N-JOY!!

Nice job Sandi - very pretty and just in time for Spring.
I love refreshing items on my doors.
This looks like a "movie watching" project.
Now where is my lap table?
