DIY Girl Pirate Costume HOW-TO

Step 4STYLE YE PIRATE HAT

STYLE YE PIRATE HAT
Using your rotary cutter cut down the doughnut shape, while its still on the bowl (it makes it easier to style). I cut it down into a "semi-triangular-butterfly-looking" shape, (check out the picture) because it made it easier to create the three sided shape I wanted for my hat.

Next I began to shape it. First roll up the back (or the flat end to the "butterfly" shape) onto the headpiece and pin it.

Second, pin up the two sides onto the headpiece, so the hat looks like a triangle from above.

After you pin up the three sides, there is a lot of extra leather hanging in the back of the hat, so pin up those areas as well. I messed around a lot with the styling of my hat, it took a lot of pinning and testing what looked good. Check out the video, you will see what I mean.

Once you have got your hat perfect, sew the areas you have pinned. And you have yourself the perfect pirate hat!
