Homemade hat art - 1st try ever.

[Flieger]

I got the idea that I wanted my new PB Cuenca to look a little bit different the other Panamas... so I bought some silver-gray ribbon and got to work...

The result,,, well, lets just say I'm no Art Fawcett yet. But it sure is personalized.

That is a very nice look. The ribbon style you chose goes great with that hat! If that's your first try, imagine where your skill will be in no time!

Watch that bow treatment, Art F. may have that copywritten. Nice touch.:eusa_clap

 

[Flieger]

I promise to remove it should Art F complain.

Thanks guys!

Thank you Tamas.

Honest. First time. Never done this before.

I'll probably try it again if I find a ribbon I like.

Looks wonderful. I redid mine too, for the same reasons. You can read about my treatment in the great deal thread. I hope to be showing some pics shortly.

Great job,

BRUNO

Very nice! Ribbon and bow treatments are great fun, and you've done a terrific job there!

Your Gray/Black ribbon would surely win a Blue ribbon.

You have a great eye for color combination. And a great hand for the ribbon work on your hat. Bravo. :eusa_clap

Thank you, Bruno. Yes, I saw that you had given your hat "the treatment" to. Looking forward to seeing the result.

Thanks, Dean. Yes, it was fun... and easy! I thought it would fight me more.

Well, dunno about all that. The ribbon I found was not was I originally had hoped for, but I had to make do with what I found.

But thanks anyway, Marty!


Gee... I'm kinda blushing here...

Cheers

Great Job Flieger...

How'd you get it to lay nice & flat all the way around? looks very neat.

Err... was that supposed to be a problem? :eusa_doh:

Actually, I have no idea! The ribbon I used is only ¬?-inch wide and was rolled on a small drum in the store. I guess it kinda wanted to stay flat out of habit.

Cheers!

Good job Fleiger, nothing like personalizing your own hat!!

 

[RBH]

Flieger, you did a wonderful job!!!
You need to try a thin ribbon next !
These hats that PB has are great. You can even do as I did and put a little of your own shape into them.
Great hat and thanks for the photos!!!
