The burlap ribbon was wider than the crown of the hat so it ended up ruched (or bunched) in 4 spaces and I covered those spots with the narrower yellow ribbon. I added the covers after but it would be much easier to make ribbon rings and loop the burlap ribbon through them. As always, learn from my mistake.

The bow deceptively looks like one skillfully tied piece BUT! It’s actually 4 separate pieces. The hat band is one piece, the bow is one piece and the hanging streamers are 2 pieces. It’s so much easier to manipulate than one giant piece. Start by adding the hat band, then the streamers, both the burlap and the striped ribbon.

Then make the bow. Make a complete circle by overlapping the ends, then flatten it and tie a string around the center (don’t really flatten the ends, especially if they have wire in them), run the striped ribbon around it and tie in the center again so you have a 2-layered bow. It will looks pretty messy at this point but it’s all good. Add your flower, this is the part where a hot glue gun would have been really helpful, that sucker is heavy!
