I decided my orange hats needed orange and black hat boxes.
It will be so easy to find the hats if they are in
coordinating boxes.
I spray painted these boxes with a flat black paintIt will be so easy to find the hats if they are in
coordinating boxes.
after checking to make sure my two new hats would fit.
After the black paint dried I sponged orange paint on one
and just wiped orange paint over the lid on the other.
I brought my embellishments out to the deck.and just wiped orange paint over the lid on the other.
and gave it a dressing up.
I have decided all my hats will have hat boxes.

Dear Sherry....you are so clever...what a lovely idea....and so pretty......
Funny, I have the hat box that has the Eiffel tower on it too. What a good idea to color code your hats with the box or vise versa. I should be so organized. Ha..
Dear Cheryl,
The pictures do not look pretty but the hat boxes turned out nice. I was pleased. It is easy to do and I wanted to share the idea of how quick you can match up hat and box.
Adding the ribbons for ties really gave each box a finished look. I will store my orange hats come November. I only wear them in October. I will wrap the hats in tissue. When I put the boxes up into the closet they will be easy to find next year.
Next week I will begin felting. I hope to make some hats this winter too. We will have fun crafting.

Dear Lisa,
The Eiffel Tower hat box was on sale at the local Gordmans a few years ago. I kept my french berets in it for awhile. It was rather large for two small barets. I shared the red baret with a blogging friend, Kate. I never wore it. I kept the black one since I wear it!
The box has been in my box collection in my basement just waiting for the day when I needed it. The two new orange hats had to have storage boxes. I was so glad I had right sized boxes that would work. It was a fun craft to do today too, easy, needed, pretty and used thigs I had here.
One of these days I will have all of my closets in perfect order!!
I have begun working on my hats.
First things first!
Sherry
