Making the Sides of your Duct Tape Hat

Using the same method you used to make the top of your hat, you'll make the sides of your hat. NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE BRIM OF THE HAT!

My hat was divided into two, so that's how I worked with it. I did one side of the hat, and then the other.

After you make your cast, then follow step three; Sheet, Then cut. You can skip the outlining part, since you'll most likely have a rectangular shaped piece.

Now tape the sides together at one point. Leave the other so you can measure and stuff.
Wrap the side's around your head. If it doesn't fit, just add a small sheet of duct tape, and you'll be good.

The peice wraps around weirdly, doesn't it? Makes a strange 'V' shape or something, and isn't perfect? Well, that's alright; while holding the peices (Let it loose a little bit so when you wear your hat it actually fits) just tape it up, and cut off the peices that don't fit. Easy peazy, lemon squeezy.
