Pin It
My daughter’s class was having an Easter Hat Parade on the 5th, every child had to decorate a hat and wear it to school. There was a parade around the school to show of their lovely creations. My daughter loves Butterflies, Rainbow and a whole lot of sparkle so we decided to decorate a canvas hat with a whole lot of sparkle. I asked my daughter to pick out what she wanted on her hat, she picked out some two inch butterfly ribbon and told me she wanted some flowers as well. I was informed the ribbon lacked pizzaz and needed something to make it sparkle. I decided this project would be the perfect opportunity to try out Terri Sproul Mixers. Boy did we ever experiment with this hat.
