This is a simple instructable, on decorating your bucket hat!

First!

Before starting, you'll have to do a little research on the constellation you want to embroider. I chose Virgo, the prominent sign in the sky during September. So find yours, and trace it out onto a piece of paper so its easier for you to look at.

To Buy

Obviously, you'll need a bucket hat. I got mine from 5Bellow. And some friendship bracelet string. And choose the color that works best with your hat.

Outline

Use pen or dark pencil to draw the sign directly on the hat, where you want it.

Needle

You'll need a needle with a pretty big eye. Then cut a piece of string and thread it through. Tie it tight on the needle!

Begin

Push the needle up through one of the stars. Tie a knot on the inside so it doesn't pull through.

Follow the Sign...

Now just sew directly over the sign. Making sure to make an 'X' for each star.

Tying Off

When You've embroidered the entire thing, cut the string off the needle and tie it securely at the back.

Thats It!
