Summer is the best, but too much fun under the sun can lead to sunspots, premature wrinkles and other nasty skin damage, especially on your face. Here are four fabulous DIY hats to shade your pretty faces this summer.

1. Snakeskin Baseball Cap


I’ve never been a fan of the baseball cap myself, but I am in love with this one. The “snakeskin” is made from lace, something I wouldn’t have thought of in a million years, and the way the colors bleed together is perfect. Bonus: the baseball brim was designed to protect eyes and faces from the sun.
2. Ombre Sun Hat


Ombre is in right now — and it’s not just for hair and nails anymore. The dip-dye process for this hat is so easy, and the results are so awesome! Plus, everyone looks fabulous in a floppy sun hat and over-sized shades.

3. Stitched Fedora

I absolutely love the rugged, I-eat-granola-and-live-in-a-tent-on-the-beach vibe from this hat. The stitches give the whole thing a homemade look, and the straw gives enough shade without getting too hot. And, really, who doesn’t love a fedora?

4. Straw Visor

Making a classy sun visor from an old, straw hat? Who would have thunk? This hat is super easy to make, despite how it looks, and keeps your shady without looking like something you borrowed from your grandma.

What do you think, lovelies? Would you try any of these DIY summer hats?
