Needing Help With These Hats!!

I’d add a ribbon, maybe roses and maybe her initials.  People love it when it’s personalized.  The other option is to make it steampunk

Ooh, I like the steam punk idea but it might be too complicated to do at this point. I have to finish the details today. 

Any recommendations on colour? What colour ribbon/roses would you do?

I'm not kidding about being stuck here haha. These hats are killing my creativity. Hold my hand you guys :'(

I’d do a black or white ribbon with red or pink roses.  That way the flowers stand out.  You can add a feather.  I see it in white, but it doesn’t have to be white.  If you aren’t looking for the ribbon to stand out I would do yellow, but you need to do something like flower to make it interesting.

How about doing some lighter brown ribbon and adding some grain and maybe a little sunflower with one or two leaves?  Like if they have been tied to the hat with the band. 

Another idea would be to give the hat a little texture. Just use the same brown (or maybe a lighter shade) and add some royal icing, that shouldn't be too stiff, with the help of a brush to the surface. Just to have some little bit sticking here and there.

I did that here as well. It's quickly done, but I think it add that little something to a background to make it less boring.

 

I love the sunflower idea! I might go that route instead of roses thank you!

I would add a band (with bow possibly) and flowers as you said, but also some simple line (outline) details in the top half and along the brim to add interest throughout, and to delineate the top of the hat from the side, and from the brim.

Not sure what you mean Julia, like maybe some squigly type outlines?

Here's what I've got right now

Since the deadline is tomorrow, I think I'm going to leave these. I definitely think they are not a total fail, but not my proudest work. 

Thank you so much everyone for your help! I am so incredibly glad to have this community to inspire me when I am in a slump. ❤️

They look nice! (P.S. No, I didn't mean squiggly lines - I meant contours to mark off the top of the hat and edges of the brim, and also lines along the sides and possibly running vertically. But they look great without.)

Nice work. I LOVE the Hatt Reunion plaque cookie!

Ahh I gotcha maybe I'll try it on a test cookie with an edible marker. 

Thanks!

Thank you! That one redeemed the project I think  

Love how it came out!

They look great! Sometimes you just have to please the customer, and I think you did!
