  • We always found the best way to stick anything to an Easter Bonnet was a Glue Gun. You can pick them up quite cheaply and once something is stuck with it, it is well and truly stuck!!

    If you don't want it to get gunked up with glue or don't want to buy a glue gun try stitching it on. It doesn't have to be perfectly stitched, just every inch or so to 'tack' it onto the hat.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Could you oversew it on around the central core of the boa
  • You could staple it, but it might be a bit dangerous if it is for a small child.
