Do you have a special hat that you would like to display? My boys have a few hats that they enjoy. When I updated their room, I decided that I would make some simple hat stands.
I combed the local Goodwill Store and found some wooden candlesticks. At Hobby Lobby I found the wooden discs. The paint was a free sample from Lowe's. I had used it when I painted a small nightstand for their room. Cost: candlesticks: $3.00, paint: free, discs: $3.16
First, I painted everything in the dusty blue paint. I liked the way the wood showed through the paint giving them a more vintage look.
Next, I added some lighter blue highlights by mixing some white craft paint into the paint. This was whisked on with a stiff dry brush and smudged a bit. (While editing the photo, I noticed Pinterest on the scrap paper I was working on. Smile.)
Finally, I glued the discs onto the top of the candlesticks. I made one taller hat stand by gluing two of the shorter candlesticks together and placing a disc on top.
One more picture.
Wouldn't this be cute for Mickey Ear souvenirs or baby hats? What hat would you like to display?
