Step 6Making the Brim
-Lay out a sheet of tin foil. Make sure that it's larger than your actual hat.
-Cut the edges so that the brim is circular.
-Start putting small strips (Recommended) of tape sticky side down on the tin foil, going in a nice circular pattern. Start with the edges, and go in.
-Stop when the duct tape starts going into the area where the top of the hat would go in.
-Repeat the process on the other side.
-When done, duct tape the edge, so that you don't somehow cut yourself.
-Put the top of the hat on the brim, and using a washable marker, or some other marker like device, outline the hat.
Now, take the top of the hat off.
-Start cutting just a little bit inside by using a knife. Be sure to go in a circular or oval pattern.
-if the knife didn't go all the way thru, use scissors to cut those pesky little annoying areas.
The reason I keep the tinfoil in between the peices of duct tape is so that there's a little bit of support in the brim. I really don't like the brim of my hat flopping around, and I doubt you like it too.
