This cute polka dot floppy hat will have you ready for those long, sunny summer days at the beach or by the pool. You can also wear it when you’re out shopping on vacation!

It’s a really easy and simple DIY project. The whole thing only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.

We like this blue and white pattern, but you can make the circles any color that you want. Match them to your bathing suit, favorite summer outfit, or even your vacation spot!

Don’t have a two-inch circle die cut? You don’t need to go out and buy one. Just use the bottom of a cup instead. Trace circles around it with a pencil and then fill them in with the fabric paint.
