This hat took me like, over 4 hours to make. My mom helped me out with it. the buttons on the brim were buttons I got from a concert this weekend. The button on the top is several layers of jean cut in a circle with a layer wrapped over it...hehe I cheated and used hot glue on that :D And my head is wierd... I'm not a six panel hat or an eight. I'm a seven panel hat. I'm wearing my hat right now.:)
