you now if you wear that for a longtime you can become bald when your older because of the chemicals in the tape

[kibbler]

That's bull! One, the so-called "chemicals" in the tape are non-existent. With Duck brand duct tape, they use natural glues. Two, you wouldn't stick the hat to your head. You would get rid of the stickiness. Finally, I'd hate to burst your bubble, but it sounds like you made that up to look cool.

if there was a like button i'd click it

[flyingfox567]

what does a button have to do with anything?

[DuctTape Pwnage]

Duct tape has no bad chemicals in it, but since it would be rubbing against your skin right after you made it, it could have that irritating glow about it that happens right after you make something with it. Also do not make low hats as the duct tape smells funny, and the more colored duct tapes smell stranger. Camouflage is the strangest...

[Matt21497]

I have a way to make duct tape hats that look really cool using just duct tape. It seems that everything that the interent has at least uses newspaper.

[Etch3]

What I did was put a solar panel into the side so it can power things! i also put a LED light on the bill for light!

[brunobl3]

Super Mario Hat! LOL! Great!

[Limeaid]

That works cool

[DuctTape Pwnage]

If you want to make the sides rounded it is much harder, but if you are looking for a cool and perfectly made look, then go with straight lines and corners, because it doesn't fold well around curves.

[brewtendo]

ok, i have a duct tape baseball cap without corners and dint use a box, except for the bill, which is the exact box i used to, anyway, i did this: get a long strip of duct tape, warp around your favorite baseball cap sticky side out and stick it together, once u have the circle of duct tape, keep it on your cap and put a strip starting from the front and make it go to the back, still sticky side out, then do it from left to right, and now u have a circle with a cross that is in a half-sphere like a hat, now do it from all the angles until the whole half-sphere is coveredin duct taped, sticky side out, now put duct tape, sticky side in all over the half sphere, and add a bill, put duct tape over that and add that to the cap and ur done!

Very cool. I made a top hat once that looked like the one from Charlie and Chocolate Factory. Hats are difficult because they will only fit one size head!

[linkmaster03]

Honestly not that great. I made mine out of duct tape alone. None of the cardboard or whatever.

[gamaster]

ya you go

[Slangan1117]

then you should put up an instructable on how to make it

[linkmaster03]

I lost all the pictures lol.

[kenny94]

how convenient...

[linkmaster03]

No kidding. I had the whole entire process documented. So my mom deletes all the pictures to make room for her to take pictures of her flowers. I mean, what the hell.

[extremegtafan]

Women and their flowers...

[bounty1012]

dont forget the cats too.

[linkmaster03]

No kidding. :(

[double ott]

then take some pictures of the finished product

[linkmaster03]

Ok.

[cowscankill]

wow, nice! Where is the bill? or it doesn't have one?

[linkmaster03]

Thanks. I don't have a bill like a baseball hat. It's my lid. ;D Ignore the velcro, I was making attachments for it lol.

[Slangan1117]

ya yours maybe made out of just duct tape, but it doesnt look as good...

[Matt21497]

mine does

[linkmaster03]

I could make it look a lot better. I believe in functionality over fashion. It's a good waterproof hat.
