I found an awesome buy! I got some toques for 25 cents ea., so bought few. Now I need to figure out how to embroider on them. I figure even if I mess up a time or two I'm ahead at that price.

I had seen one done up in projects a while ago. Can't remember who did it. But I found a picture of one.

great deal good for you, if I can offer this tip to help it would be to add wss on the top & a md weight on the bottom & remember to sew your design on upside down & inside out because if it is on the beak then it is really on the inside & then you flip it out! Good luck, once you get the hang of it they go pretty quick! Hugs Loralye

Thanks for the advice Loralye. That was about what I thought, but wasn't sure. Although, it's good you mentioned doing it upside down as I might have messed that up!

They are easy to embroider on;just remember to do the design"upside down" or they will be bottom side up when you are done{Ask me how I know!!!} I do about 300 hats a year to sell at Xmas time. I have the set of monster designs from charming station that I use on them. I open them up at the seam and stitch in Ears and strips of fleece for hair ,then close the seam back up on my serger. The kids love them and i usually sell right out every year. I also just bought 200 hats at a closeout sale in Walmarts for $.25/WHAT A BUY!!!
