Not a very big DIY project but never the less, I picked up this adorable hat at Disneyland earlier last month and just simply had to have it. But being a mother and nearing the big 3-0 I just don't think I can pull off the punkish skull and crossbones look. (I did buy it in the Pirates of the Caribbean store) So I bought the adorable hat and promptly told my girlfriend I was with that I would pull the crossbones off and replace them with buttons. Hah!!! Easier said than done! When I bought the hat I failed to look at how those attachments were...well...attached. Very well indeed. Silly ol' me thought that they would be sewn on in some way. Oh no!!! They were attached like rivets in jeans. Oh yes!!! Which meant how I had to pull out the tool chest in order to make some headway. In the end I had to attach much larger buttons than I had intended because those crossbones were a pain to remove and left large gaping holes in the material. Oh well, I think it turned out pretty good anyway.
