Message sun hats are very trendy at the moment and it is all over Instagram.  Even though you can buy ready made ones from the high street, it is sometimes nice to have your own personal touch.  Whether you are making it for yourself for your next holiday, or a gift to a friend, it is nice to know that some TLC has gone into the product.

So here is a DIY video of how to make your own.
