Leather Steampunk Top Hat

Step 6 Making waves

This is where we hack up the rectangle to give us that dashing profile and steamy look.  The "high" parts of the wave are the front and rear, the low parts are the side.  Next, cut it in half to make room for the triangle inserts on the sides.

It depends on how big your hat is.  The one I made was around a 7 (hat size,) and I made the cut 2 inches at its deepest point.  The deeper the cut, the more extreme the final shape of the brim will be.
