Transform a Dollar-Store Straw Hat into a High-End Fashion Piece with Paint

Before painting. This was sold at Daiso for around 200 yen, and the main material seems to be paper. Make sure to remove the black ribbon first.

Next, I used a brush to apply Daiso's wood varnish (walnut). It came out a bit dark, so it might have been better to dilute it with water or something and apply thin layers to adjust the color.

Finished painting. It looks much more luxurious now.

From above. This is totally the style I wanted.
