Think You’re Not Creative? Our DIY Hat Burning Events Will Prove You Wrong

If you've ever said, "I'm not creative," you're not alone—and you're exactly who we created our DIY hat-burning events for. Whether you're local or just visiting, our creative hat workshops are one of the most unique things to do in Springfield, IL, especially if you love Western boho style or one-of-a-kind fashion pieces.

At Wildflowers and Barley, we believe creativity isn’t something you have—it’s something you discover. And there’s no better way to do that than by designing your own custom burned hat.

No Experience? No Problem.

Our hat-making experiences are beginner-friendly and guided every step of the way. You don’t need to be an artist or even consider yourself "crafty." We’ve had people walk in nervously and walk out proudly wearing a hat they designed themselves—complete with hand-burned designs, unique hat bands, and personal touches that make it 100% their own.

We provide all the tools, design templates, and hands-on help you need to create something amazing. You just have to show up and trust the process.

What Makes Our Hat Burning Events Special?

  • Personalized Guidance: You'll have a host walking you through the burning techniques and helping with design placement.

  • Western Boho Vibes: Our Studio is filled with inspiration—think fringe, feathers, florals, and classic Western flair. Pluss you'll see plenty of our own creations around the Studio that you can use as inspiration!

  • Wearable Art: Each guest leaves with a one-of-a-kind hat they'll actually want to wear (and show off).

  • Unforgettable Experience: It's not just about the hat—it’s about the joy of creating something from scratch.

“I Came for the Hat, but I Left Feeling Empowered.”

We’ve seen it happen over and over. Guests start out doubting themselves—and end up creating something beautiful. There’s something powerful about making something with your own two hands, especially something as bold and expressive as a burned hat.

The look of pride when guests try on their finished hat? That’s our favorite part.
