Today, hats of all styles are back in fashion. But what if you can't find suitable model to your liking? There is a way out - we will tell you how to make a hat at home with your own hands.
Use our tips - and you will be provided with hats for your wardrobe, festive celebration, masquerade, party and even wedding! The process itself is very simple and exciting.
Hat ideas and materials to make them with
Making hats from improvised and art materials- it's very exciting creative process who will give you great pleasure also from the result. Everything can work out for you if you accurately decide on the choice of style and design!
First, you should choose a solid and optimal material. And the highlight of any headdress will always be an additional element. It can be a fringe sewn along the edge, ribbon edging, lace, appliqués, beads and pearls, buttons, artificial flowers and even small birds, metal figurines, toys, decorative accessories.
paper hats
For paper products, material of different density and suitable color will be required. It is better to choose large-format paper, especially if you plan to create a large, voluminous hat - for example, panama. Such a product can be disposable if you do not plan to wear it for more than a few days. It is convenient to make such a dress on the road, on the beach, on a hike, when there are no conditions for tailoring, and it is very important to cover your head from the wind and sun.
If there is a suitable sheet of thick paper (for example, whatman paper), we can say that the matter is in the hat. That is, we immediately proceed to drawing a drawing according to the measurements of the head and further - depending on the design. The main thing is that there is enough material for sufficiently wide margins and additional details.
Cardboard hats
Cardboard is a cheap and convenient material from which it is easy to build almost any type of headgear. It is more practical than paper, it can be covered with fabric, fur, mesh or color film, painted.
Cardboard makes great hats for carnivals and parties. To cut a hat out of cardboard, nothing is required but attention and a good pattern.
Fabric hats
Panamas, fedoras, felt and fur hats - the choice of varieties is quite large. You can tailor a knitted hat if you do not know how or do not like to knit. The simplest option is the classic beret. It can be sewn from felt, leather, knitwear, tweed and even silk.
A strictly defined business hat requires attention to the cut and accurate measurement. But it can also be made from improvised means - update old hat wrapped in a new fabric, add decorations to it - and now it is no longer recognizable!
You can also make a winter hat with protective "ears" from the fabric, and this is not necessarily an earflap. A classic women's hat may have spare compartments with warming flaps.
Types of hats
At the peak of popularity today is a fedora hat. This is a fedora hat with wide brim, which goes well with a coat and dress, sunglasses, gives elegance even to a girl in jeans! Sewing such a model yourself is easy.
Carnival hats
Carnival, party, happening, flash mob, corporate evening or Halloween - these are the days when you can have fun from the heart and surprise everyone with your unusual way.
A carnival classic is a witch's hat with huge brim and high peaked top. Take a cardboard or frame, on which you stretch a black fabric with a veil - the image of the sorceress is ready! You can also dress up as a fairy or a dryad by decorating your ordinary hat with artificial leaves, flowers, fruits, or other natural symbols.
But what about the male gender? The image of the dashing Jack Sparrow, the famous pirate captain from Hollywood movies. In this case, everything is simple. Jack's typical headdress is a beaded bandana, to which various intricate "amulets" of pebbles and "precious" stones can be sewn or fastened.
Another option is a cocked hat of a pirate of the 17th century. Fold the plastic cardboard in an appropriate way, fasten the margins with a stapler or a needle and thread, glue a pen or a brooch - in front of you is a detail of the toilet not only of a pirate, but also of Baron Munchausen
Don't forget about papier-mâché animal masks and Venetian images!
Children's hats
If you have a child (especially if not one), then each parent may face the following situation: an original carnival costume for a matinee is urgently needed! And parents are in a panic, because extra money is often not set aside for such one-time new clothes, but the suit is still needed. And your baby will be sad if his group friends kindergarten or classmates will come in bright and cheerful costumes, and he alone will be deprived of this pleasure. Do not be discouraged if the wishes of the child are beyond the range of stores and your budget.
The most original costume in any case will only be homemade. And, of course, the hat is the highlight!
Does your son want to be a hussar or a musketeer? The main "trick" of the image of a swordsman-musketeer, of course, is an elegant hat with a feather and curved brim. It can be made from a piece of felt, cardboard or papier-mâché.
Feather - artificial or natural, which is found in the house. It can be dyed in unusual color to match the costume - capes of a musketeer. And for a hussar, you can build a simple and convenient shako with a visor made of cardboard, covered with a cloth. Do not forget to glue “regalia” on the hussar hat - a twisted pigtail with a tassel, a tourniquet with fur imitating a sultan. The little hussar will hit the girls at the ball in the heart!
Much more options are suitable for a girl - from the crown of a little princess or fairy princess to a witch in a huge wide-brimmed hat.
Wedding or evening headwear
Wedding celebrations are the day when the bride receives maximum attention in her address. Only the sparkle of loving eyes and the presence of good taste can make a newlywed the most beautiful and elegant in the world, but an unusual hat can serve as an additional factor!
The modern bride prefers small, compact, symbolic hats that look like pins or brooches. This format is convenient in miniature size and perfectly sets off the make-up, dress, beauty of the bride herself. It is very easy to make such a miniature hairpin hat. Make a small analogue of a small cardboard hat, cover with white cloth, add beads, pearls, rhinestones or artificial (or even natural!) Flowers. This will be a unique item!
For an evening celebration, to the theater, to the opera, you can wear a hat like a "pill". This is a simple and very beautiful option that goes well with evening dress, suit.
Men's hats
A classic stetson on your head, a cane umbrella and a tweed suit - and a real movie hero leads you by the arm. To make your Stetson, you will have to master the work with felt, but there are always analogues that will be useful to your friend, husband or young man.
Refined and refined, this top hat crafted from quality materials is a very inspiring gift for a spouse, lover, friend or colleague. Indeed, is it possible to find a similar gift somewhere else so simply and easily? This is a real return to the 19th century, which will be appropriate at a classic ball, in a theater, at a masquerade, and someone wears such hats every day - for example, supporters of the steampunk style.
panama hats
Summer season, holidays or the heat covers the city - in all these cases, a pretty panama is definitely required. It will protect against harmful ultraviolet rays, help not to dry out hair (which, in addition, burn out in the sun). Panama can be made from straw or knitted, crocheted. Tailoring from fabric is possible from the remains of other products. Let's say you cut yourself a new sundress for the summer, but the fabric remains. Make a scarf, panama or bandana out of it - and the whole set is ready.
