Make a hat in two hours. Okay guys. Today I'm going to make a hat, using a piece of cardboard, scissors, tape and some cloth. Also superglue and sewing needle and thread. Bara copypastat från min L
Cut out a strip of the cardboard and roll it together. This will be the base of the hat.
By the way, meet my hat model, Miki :3 He's a Fairyland Tiny Fairy. An MSD Ball Jointed Doll.
Put the hat-base to another piece of cardboard and draw a circle around it that's slightly bigger. This will be the top.
Cut that piece out and glue/tape it to one side of the base. (preferably glue). It should look like this.
Get a piece of cloth, any cloth, just not stretchy cloth, glue it to the edge of the top, and stretch it to the bottom, around, inside the base. Be sure that the cloth isn't too thick. That'll just bu
Cut another piece of cloth as big and round as the top and glue it on on the top. Cut off any excess.
Draw a circle as big as the base of the hat on a new piece of cloth, and cut a small circle out of it on the inside. Be sure to leave some excess there. This will be the brim of the hat.
Take a piece of wire and make a circle larger than the one you drew. Tape it together.
Make cuts out to the edges of your drawn circle, so you get flaps to glue on.
Be sure to have excess space outside the range of your wire-circle so you can fold it over the wire later.
Turn the hat upside down and glue the circle to the insides of it, using the flaps to fasten it in the glue. Like this.
It's starting to look like a hat now! Now it's time to pin the wire frame circle on.
Stretch the brim cloth around the wire edges and fasten with pins. Now all that's left is to sew it to stick.
All done! :D And Miki got himself a hat. Now, this is just a base. I'm going to spray-colour it later, and decorate it with stuff to hide the edges and stuff~
Better pictures come here. Here it's just the white base. It actually doesn't matter what cloth you use. It's all up to you.
