It is worth taking a closer look at some options for making hats with their own hands.

Pirate

For such a product, you can use paper, or better, felt or dense fabric. The color, of course, is black:

• The circumference of the head is measured, the height of the finished triangle is determined.
• Cut a circle for the inside and the brim (their width equals the height of the hat). For the margins, the back and front parts are made. After cutting, the margins are sewn together, and notches are made on them 1 centimeter before the edge. After that, the sewn parts are well ironed on the wrong side.
• Sew all the elements, the edges are closed with gold or red braid (you may have a small fringe) and the fields are bent in three places. For the pirate decor is made (or bought) applique - skull and bones, also the hat can be decorated with a feather.

Cylinder .

This high headgear is characterized by a crown in the form of a cylinder. Making such an accessory can be entrusted to a child, with the help of adults will not be superfluous.

The easiest way to make a carnival accessory is from paper, and you can decorate it in the trendy style - steampunk:

1. To make it, you should use thick paper of large size - you can buy colored sheets in a specialized store, or you can take a Watman paper and paint it in the desired color after assembling the model. Millimeter cardboard will also work, it will add strength to the accessory.
2. First, the circumference of the head is measured. The resulting value should be divided by 6.28 (2Pi) to know the radius of the circle for the base.
3. Three parts are cut out and cut out:

• a circle - the base of the cylinder;
• The second circle - the margins. To do this, the width of the fields is added to the radius of the first circle, and then the inner circle is cut out;
• Rectangle - for the awning. Its width is equal to the circumference of the head, and length - the height of the finished product.

1. On the pattern of the crown mold must provide allowances of 2 cm for connection to other elements of the cylinder - the length of one side, the width - on both sides. The allowance strips should be notched every 2-3 cm.
2. Next, the carcass is glued to the height - the glue is applied to the allowance, the edges are overlapped to form a cylinder. The circle at the base should match the size of the hole in the large circle.
3. When the carcass dries, the allowances on both sides are bent - the top part inward, the bottom - outward.
4. The top allowance is blotted with glue, a small circle is attached to it (so that the edges of the circles coincide exactly).
5. The product is inverted base on the table, and then you should gently hand press parts of the allowance to the base from the inside of the cylinder. After that, the bottom allowance is smeared with glue, a large circle is put on the cylinder and, going down, is pressed firmly against the paper.

The dried product can be painted and decorated. It will not be difficult to emphasize the style of steampunk with small and medium-sized details - for example, from an old clock. To facilitate the process, the decor can be attached to the tape, and then the tape itself is pasted in the right place.

Cone

The easiest way to make a stargazer cone or a little witch hat is from heavy paper:

• Draw a circle, the radius of which is equal to the height of the finished product.
• From a full circle you can make a Vietnamese hat - to do this, you need to remove a small sector and tightly connect the edges of the cutout.
• At an equal distance from the center it is worth fixing two ribbons - they will help to hold the hat on the head.
• For a sharp cone, you can draw only half a circle, and by trying on the pattern, outline the necessary sector for the desired size, and cut it out, leaving 2 cm for the allowance on one side.
• The allowance is trimmed in small pieces, they are smeared with glue and tightly fasten the two straight sides of the part.
• After drying, the star-cap can be decorated, but for the witch hat, you need a little more work.
• The bottom of the finished cone should be outlined on paper, then around the resulting circle you should draw the fields of the future hat - they may be outlined evenly in a circle, or may be uneven or jagged.
• On the inside, you should also leave an allowance of 2 cm.
• The margins are cut out, and it is desirable to duplicate the detail and glue the elements together.
• After drying, the awning and the fields are glued together.

Now the product can be decorated - great to look velvet or satin ribbon with a small buckle, inlaid with shiny crystals. You can also use a bouquet of small pumpkins and twigs.

Canotier

Such an elegant hat is quickest to make from cardboard, if you want it can be covered with fabric - preferably cotton, with a pronounced texture.

To measure the circumference of the head is very simple - use a flexible wire. Carefully trace the resulting circumference on the cardboard, around the base draw wide margins. For a clear connection in the future parts is worth outlining pencil sketches with a compass. After that the cardboard elements are cut out.

The wire should be unrolled and measured. A rectangle is drawn on the cardboard - its length is equal to the length of the wire, and width - to the desired height of the hat. The folds of the cardboard should run along the width - so the construction will remain strong.

A side note! Before connecting all the parts, they can be covered with cloth. To do this, all elements are outlined on the material (twice, for the front and back) and cut out. One by one, the cardboard parts are smeared with PVA glue, the corresponding fabric part is placed on them, carefully straightened out (without excessive tension). Before pasting the opposite side should wait until the first side is completely dry.

Now you can connect all the elements - with a glue gun. First the bodice is rolled up, then the base and the margins are attached to it.

The final operation - decorating, if necessary, the product must be pre-painted.

Panama

Cute panama can be quickly constructed from paper or newspaper. They are great protection from the sun in the country house or on the beach.

For a large panama requires a sheet of 60x45 cm, and for a child's 50x38 cm is enough.

• You will need a small section of veil (mesh, organza), with sides of 20x30 centimeters.
• To round off the bottom two corners should be trimmed, and the top of the fabric should be prisobryat on a thread with loose stitches, the finished length should be about three centimeters.
• Strings and leaves are hemmed to the flower, the bottom is attached to the assembled veil, the ends are clipped in the right places to the decoration, so that the veil ends up slightly covering part of the face.
• For easier dressing veil, you can use a glue gun to connect to it a hairpin or a simple automatic hairpin.
