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

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.

what does a button have to do with anything?

james4 in reply to flyingfox567Jun 1, 2012. 4:03 PM

Because buttons are awesome and you always have to press a red button if you see one.Especially if it's shiny.

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...

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.

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!

Super Mario Hat! LOL! Great!

Limeaid says: May 3, 2009. 7:12 PM

That works cool

DuctTape Pwnage says: Jan 28, 2009. 6:51 PM

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 in reply to DuctTape PwnageMay 2, 2009. 6:55 PM

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!

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

Slangan1117 (author) in reply to linkmaster03Jun 8, 2008. 8:32 AM

linkmaster03 in reply to Slangan1117Jun 8, 2008. 11:12 AM

kenny94 in reply to linkmaster03Jul 12, 2008. 6:14 PM

how convenient...

linkmaster03 in reply to kenny94Jul 12, 2008. 7:57 PM

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.
