Bucket Hat Upcycling

"Lately bucket hats have come back as a trend and of course I wanted to participate, but without buying from a fast-fashion brand. I knew I had plenty of old jeans I wanted to donate so instead I decided to use the denim for my bucket hat. Repurposing old clothing for new trendy pieces is a great way to prolong the life cycle of your clothes!"
