Today I want to share my JuJu hat tutorial.  Have you seen a JuJu hat before?  I have been obsessing with the African Juju hats from the first time I have seen them, plus I am loving the BoHo chic style these days.  My Macrame table runner was the start of it all.  The JuJu hats are very popular and are seen a lot in designer’s decor.  Searching to buy one I was shocked at how much they run.  Well, y’all know that I would rather try to make one than buy one.  So that’s what I am doing.   Here are the items I used for my JuJu hat wall decor:

• 5 packages of 2 yards of Duck Goose Feather Trim Fringe
• 1 Dollar Tree foam board
• white Duck Tape

Let’s DIY a juju hat wall decor.

My first step was making a circle on my foam board, I grabbed a piece of string, pen, tape, thumb tack and a ruler.

Finding the center of my foam board I placed a dot.  Taking the thumb tack wrapping the string around the tack in the length I needed to make the size of my circle.  I made sure I had 10 inches of string.  Taping my string around my pen I drew a circle on my foam board.

Cut the circle out.

I cut a slit from edge to center in my circle.  Overlapping the edges about 1 1/2 inches, taping it together with white duct tape.

This created the hat shape.  I also taped the edges of my circle to give it a more finished look.

I marked 1 inch guide lines all around the hat.  I measured 1 inch from each guide lines all the way to the center.  This will help me keep my feather ribbon straight.

Taking the feather ribbon, a hot glue gun, many glue sticks and scissors.

I added the ribbon to each line with hot glue.

I cut my ribbon when the two ends met at each circle.

I continued to hot glue each ribbon to the circles same way until I got to the center.

From here I cut my feather ribbon into smaller sections and hot glued them into the center.

I cut smaller sections until it was all filled in.

I cut single feathers gluing them in the center sticking up.

Here is what mine looks like.

Here is my finished Juju hat !!

I placed a little picture ring on the back with hot glue.  This is so light that it will be strong enough to hold.  It’s as light as feathers. 🙂

I placed it above our bed.

I painted over the striped wall and gave the room a lighter color.  I went with Sherwin Williams Perfect Greige – SW6073.  Here is my new late summer bedding.

I found the flower throw pillow and fell in love.  I coordinated the bedding around that throw pillow.  It is an embroidery design and has a zipper enclosure.

 

Y’all know I love quilts on our bed.  I went with a powder blue set, with a new white ruffled comforter.

Went less with the pillows, I used only three accent pillows.  I made the little tray out of scrap wood and placed a little succulent on it.  This will stay until I decorate for Fall.  Gosh can you believe it?  Fall will be here before you know it !!
