Make a Duct Tape Fedora
This goes well with a duct tape trench coat. Fedoras are seen in detective movies, and oldies ex: singing in the rain. There are many ways to make a duct tape fedora.
Steps
- Get a fedora. Maybe your dad or granddad has one. If not, this site has people who have written other methods.
- Cover your hat in tin foil. Try to keep the tin foil smooth as possible on the inside for maximum comfort.
- Get your duct tape, and tape over the foil.
- Fit your hat. If it's too big or too small, simply cut and re-tape, then put tin foil on the inside to cover the adhesive.
- Add a band of material around the hat; usually a different shade of the same color as your hat. For this, use a smooth band of tin foil taped down with Pull the Tape Prank. this band will keep your hat from looking like a hat an old granny would wear.
- Finished.
Tips
- Tape your hat from the bottom up. This will waterproof it.
- Put the duct tape on the tin foil while your hat is still under the layer of tin foil.
- you can write on it with washable markers, then you can wipe it of with a moist towel!
- If you want to do designs with colored duct tape, that's fun too. Or your whole hat could be red, green, blue, etc...
- Leave your hat in a very hot car on a summer day. This will make the tape and foil stick together better. Do not use an oven or microwave for this.
- Put stickers all over your hat to personalize it.
