A bit of a throwback
Inspired by the past with a little bit of modern flare!
For the cardboard definately make sure it is light and flexible. I used a cheez-it box :-)! But you could defiantely use something like a cereal box or pop-tarts or whatever. You don't need alot so no worries if it is a smaller box.

Step 1First off, grab a piece of cardboard and cut out a circle.
nothing to big, just sort of eyeball how big or small you want it on your head!My hats have a diameter of about 4 1/2 inches.
-
Step 2next cut a strip of cardboard about an inch wide and long enough to go around the circle.
-
Step 3Take a couple strips of packing tape and wind the strip of cardboard around the circle and tape it down.
cover all the outside edges with tape as well as the spot where the two pieces connect on the inside to keep the shape secure and the pieces together.
don't worry if it looks sort of crappy because you are going to cover it with fabric anyway.
-
Step 4Cut out a circle of fabric a little bigger then the circumfrance of the hat and hot glue it to the top and down on the sides.
-
Step 5cut out a long strip of fabric and hot glue it along the sides to the top and fold and hot glue underneath. Try to be as neat and precise as possible.
-
Step 6Since my hotgluing was not as neat as I wanted it to be, I covered my hat with lace and then added a feather
-
Step 7Now Decorate!
Have fun with it, and try new things!!
Aside from the black one I also covered one with newsprint and added a bow!
Just experiment!

I love this by the way.
But I can't seem to understand how the heck they stay on your head. I must have looked at hundreds of old pillbox hats trying to figure it out. Maybe I'm just dumb... XP
How do you keep yours on?
