Step 8Top layer of cards for the brim
Try your hat on last time to make sure that it fits perfectly - after this step you will not be able to change anything without unstapling whole thing.
Now attach top layer of cards for the brim by stapling them to the folded out half-cards you made in a last step.
Make sure they aligned radially and not skewed left or right. Overlap cards to cover about hakf to 2/3rds of previous card - we need relatively smooth edges. Be aware that brim takes most cards and it can make hat havier if you overlap too much or less strong and less neat if you overlap too little.
Also make sure you staple through the cards on the bottom - this will give brim needed strength.
You might want to shape it into oval to match the form of your head. I didn't try it but for better results this step be better done while target wearer has it on. Be careful with ears though - staples are sharp ;)
