Oops! Art Happens kindly hosted me for this experience in exchange for editorial coverage. All opinions and experiences shared are my own.

 

If there’s one thing I’ll always say yes to, it’s an experience where I get to make something, have a cute night out, and leave with a souvenir I’ll actually use. And I just so happened to find exactly that at Oops! Art Happens, where I spent the evening getting creative at their Hat Bar.

 

Instead of simply picking out a hat, the Hat Bar lets you completely make it your own—from choosing your design and painting it by hand to adding branded details, ribbons, feathers, and all the finishing touches. I decided on a brown cowboy hat that I fully intend on wearing during my future line-dancing adventures, and after about two hours of painting, experimenting, and getting a little creative, I walked out with a hat that felt completely me.
