Beaded cap

Definitely my biggest project so far. I'm really satisfied with the results, it was initially my plan to only do the rim, but I decided later that the embroidered feather looked a little too plain & gave it a quick outline.

The rim has 3125 beads (125 rows, 25 beads per row)

It's the only project i've been able to count beads on & I almost used my entire vial of orange beads 🤣

There's still some mistakes, a bit uneven, but since it's just for me to wear it think thats alright

Bought the hat from the Stó:lō nation gift shop

Love it! Back in the 90s, beaded caps were super popular. They seriously need to make a comeback!

I attempted to make one way back in the day, but my ADHD got the better of me. 😞
