Pirate Hat

A wide-brimmed hat bent up and pinned into a classic pirate silhouette, then layered with skull charms, mermaid scales, little chains, and a whisper of fishnet instead of feathers — the kind of hat that looks like it washed ashore from a very stylish shipwreck. Charity Grace builds the whole thing from a thrifted hat and affordable trinkets, hot-gluing the brim up and decorating in layers so you can customize as wildly as you want. She also shows matching clip-in hair pieces braided with hemp rope and charms, so you get a full pirate look in one afternoon.
