Thrifted Straw Hat Boho Style Makeover

August 7, 2020 By Meegan Leave a Comment

While visiting my local thrift shop, I spotted a straw hat. It wasn’t the prettiest. But I knew it had potential. Today I am going to share how I designed my own Thrifted Straw Hat Boho Style Makeover.

With just a few components and a little time, you can have a stylish, fun and one of a kind hat for just a few bucks!

I just love hats. Baseball caps, visors, straw hats, knitted hats, you name it, hats are a great way to accessorize your wardrobe for any season.
