I’m not sure why but Thanksgiving is definitely one of the more hat-centric holidays out there (maybe it’s because Pilgrims wore hats?). You definitely don’t see many Valentine’s Day hat DIY’s, for example. These cute and creative Thanksgiving hats make fun craft projects to encourage dress up and also discuss the true meaning behind how Thanksgiving came about in Plymouth Plantation.
Felt Native American Headband (via Kiwi Crate) This super easy headband uses free form cutting of felt with just glue to hold it together. I love that you can customize the center part of the headband.
