Introduction: How to Make a Innertube Top Hat
materials:
Bike innertubes (about 2 26 inch and 1 18 inch)
gorilla glue
scissors
needle
strong thread
safety pins
cardboard
compass (or as I say a circle maker)
duct tape
a sheet of paper.
Step 1: Measuring and Cutting the Tubes
Step 2: Sewing the Main Part
Take the 3 piece, line them up, and pin them together then sew them together to make one big piece. Then take that piece and sew one end to the other to make a cylinder. Try to line up the seams from the previous step.
Step 3: Make the Top
Step 4: Attach the Top
Step 5: Flatten Out the Top
Flip the hat inside out and gorilla glue a circle a little smaller than the top to the inside of the top and clamp it until it is dry. To make the circle I found another circle object that was about the same size as the top. I traced it on to the cardboard leaving a little around the edges. I trimmed it until it was a little smaller than inside of the top.
Step 6: Making the Brim
Step 7: Attaching the Brim
Step 8: Resizing
If your hat is too small you can trim the inside of the brim. If it's too big just line the inside.
Step 9: Congratulations
Give yourself a pat on the back. Your long and arduos journey is finally over.
