Beautifully decorated mini-hats will become an original addition to a festive dress or a fancy dress. They are widely used for photo sessions with children. They can also be used as elastic bands for hair, headbands or hairpins.

How to make a hat with your own hands?

To create this original accessory from improvised means is quite simple. Today we will tell you how to make an original mini felt hat.

For this we need:

Scissors.

Lace fabric.

A piece of black mesh.

Let's start manufacturing!

1 . First, draw on a piece of felt two circles with a diameter of 3 and 7 cm (if you want your hat to be larger, you can use your sizes) and one strip, the length of which should be equal to the perimeter of the small circle. Using scissors we cut out these details.

2.   We turn the strip in the form of a ring and sew the ends together.

3 . From above we attach a small circle and sew it.

5.   Now we sew lace fabric to the cylinder around the circumference.

6.   We string the number of beads we need, then we fix each of the beads around the hat.

7.   We take a hoop and make two small holes in it.

8.   Then we sew our hat tightly to the hoop.

10.   Using the stitch, we fix the resulting veil on the hat.

The idea came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking an extravagant costume for a masquerade and you look at the photo of the hat with your own hands? Then this article is just for you.

Here you will learn how to quickly and easily sew a hat with your own hands for almost any occasion.

Such hats that are quite easy to create can easily become a substitute for expensive purchased costumes, and at the same time they will look almost as unusual and interesting as they are.

Making a hat out of plain paper

Of course, a paper hat is one of the easiest methods to add some variety to your outfit bought for a masquerade.

Using any scissors, as well as ordinary glue, it’s quite simple to create an incredible sombrero that all travelers in Mexico like to buy, a cocked hat like a pirate’s, or even a beautiful top hat like a real gentleman’s.

Definitely a cardboard hat is an ideal option for those who do not have much free time, but who would like to surprise the guests of the event.

Making a hat like a pirate

If suddenly the teachers in the group said that you need a hat in the kindergarten for the holiday, you should not panic, even if you had never done anything with your own hands before.

First of all, it is necessary to prepare the materials that will be needed later: this is colored paper, preferably white, black and any other bright color to add hat originality, an elastic band for a hat, a needle, glue, as well as a felt-tip pen or a black pen.

Step-by-step instruction

Draw a square on black paper and cut it out. Please note that the side of the square should be equal to the short of the sides of sheet A3.

Turn the cut square into a circle by gently rounding the corners of the figure.

Fold a sheet of white twice in length. Cut the resulting strip across to get a beautiful fringe, it is important not to touch the bottom edge.

Expand the sheet and cut it straight along the folds. Twist a felt pen or pen slightly over the fringe in each strip.

All curly stripes should be glued to a black circle.

It is important to pay attention to the fact that in order for the fringe to look neat, it is necessary to glue it so that all the edges bent by you look exclusively up.

Right in a circle, it is necessary to note three points that will be removed from each other at the same distance.

Three folds are made from each of the notes to the next. As a result, you will find a triangle with equal sides. Hat fields must be folded up.

Thinking how to decorate a hat, you can, for example, make two feathers. The technology is similar to the principle of creating fringe.

Note!

For the front of the parts of the headdress, it is necessary to cut a scary skull of white color with several bones. Then it is painted and glued to another curved field.

It remains only to pierce with a needle two holes in the hat and fix the elastic.

After such a detailed instruction, the question of how to make a hat with your own hands will probably be left to no one.

If you needed a hat for the girl for the February 23 holiday, then in this case the ideal option is to create a cap.

How to make a simple cap at home?

In order to make a cap for a child, you need half the sheet of any old newspaper with A3 format or the most ordinary sheet with A4 format.

Note!

What should be the sequence?

• Fold the sheet in half with the necessarily short sides to each other and unfold it with the resulting fold up;
• The angles located on top of the resulting figure must be turned down and then to the center, and then all the bends are smoothed out;
• It turns out a paper house with a neat triangular roof;
• The bottom, fairly long rectangular stripes must be unscrewed from each side up and again to smooth the folds;
• Wrap the triangles that remained free in different directions and secure in this way a makeshift hat made of waste paper.

Just like that, literally in a few hours you can independently create a rather interesting headdress for a child or for yourself.

All you need except materials is a little imagination and patience in hard work.

Note!

Since ancient times, the hat was considered a beautiful and sophisticated accessory, and almost all women wore this headdress. Unfortunately, now only royal blood persons adhere to this tradition, and modern women - only on especially solemn occasions (wedding, party or masquerade ball). It’s a pity, because the hat gives the girl a special sophistication, romance and mystery.

In each girl, men would like to see a riddle, and to create a halo of mystery and a special mood, they used a veil - a thin net covering their heads. Now the veil is inseparable from hats, again gaining relevance.

A hat with a veil for a wedding is an excellent replacement for a traditional diadem with a veil. A top hat, boater or tablet decorated with an air mesh is a great opportunity to feel like a socialite at a wedding, cocktail party or in a restaurant.

A hat with a veil can be oval, round, borderless, in the form of a cylinder, a cap or a heart. The tablet hat fits perfectly in. The veil mesh covers the entire face or reaches only the lips or nose. If the hat and veil completely cover the head and face, such a hat is quite acceptable for a wedding. Hats are decorated with feathers, rhinestones, bows, braid, beads, flowers, hairpins, brooches and other decorative elements.

It is not necessary to look for a hat in a fashion boutique - you can sew it with your own hands. Do-it-yourself hats with a veil can also be found in this article. Special expenses and time are not required for this, and the style can always be chosen perfect.

How to choose a hat with a veil

Stylists have their own secrets to choosing a hat, and a combination with clothes of a certain style is not the only criterion here.

1. For a broad face with large features, a hat with upward-curved brim is suitable.
2. An elongated and thin face requires a hat with wide brim and a flat top.
3. For snub-nosed lovers of hats with a veil, you need to choose a hood-shaped fashion.
4. A tablet hat covered with a veil is a universal option, as it fits almost any type of face.
5. A tall flat hat and wide brim will help tall girls visually adjust their growth.
6. Tiny hats with a mesh with a high top (such as cylinders) are suitable for miniature girls.

How to wear a hat

Landing on the head of the mini-cap is strictly regulated. They wear it to one side, tilting slightly forward and giving it a flirty look. You can attach a mini hat to your hair in various ways:

• hairpins (special loops are sewn for them);
•   to the tone of the hair or hat (you can simply stick the hat on it with a thermal gun);
• combs and hairpins.

To give the shape of a veil (usually the mesh is quite soft), you need to apply hairspray on it and fix it on the layout of the head (or other pig-adaptation). Then give it the necessary shape and fix it again with varnish.

Hat Options

A mini-hat with a veil can be based on a wide rim, comb or hairpin decorated with flowers, ribbons, beads.

Instead of riselin, toilet paper, napkins, or other soft paper are used to make the base of a hat from paper. To make a frame using papier-mâché technique, a layer of pieces of paper is laid on a head blank or other form (sieve, baby ball), greased with glue and repeat this operation to the desired layer thickness (about 10 times), without the need to lubricate the base itself with glue ! Bubbles are periodically removed with a dry cloth. The finished base must be left to dry for 24 hours at room temperature (on the battery - for three hours). The desired shape is cut from the blank and sheathed with fabric, as in our workshop.

Masterclass for making a headdress “Clowness hat”

Good afternoon, dear teachers!

Today I want to bring to your attention a master - class on the manufacture of headgear.

I work in the House of Culture, and we try to sew costumes ourselves for performing on stage. We use not only dresses, but, of course, hats, which you can also do with your own hands. I really like to come up with hats, and then turn them into reality. You can also make such beauty, and use it on various morning performances, holidays, performances, etc.

I want to show you some of my hats, look and appreciate.

Musketeer Hats

I sewed these hats   for waltz

Hats for performances in performances:

Blue ocean

Flower meadow.

5. There are, of course, crowns.

I want to ask you - "What is the most interesting, funny and kind character at children's parties?"

That's right - a clown. Let us together with you make a hat for our clowness, as they say, we will complement the costume with an original hat.

For starters, you need to decide what we need for the manufacture of such an item:

Whatman or Hardboard,

PVA glue, but it’s better to take the “Moment” glue,

Scissors,

Pencil,

Ruler

Compass,

Fabric of any color (you can satin, lining, arganza and nylon).

So we have everything ready, let's start making a hat.

1. The first stage of our work, we must decide what height our hat will be. I propose to make a hat in the form of a cylinder. So, we take a ruler and a pencil, draw a strip with a height of 19 cm and a length of 61 cm. Using scissors, cut it out.

2. Now take a compass and draw 2 large circles with a diameter of 12 cm - these are the fields of the hat

and 1 small circle with a diameter of 6.5 cm is the top of the hat.

And cut it out.

4. Then we glue the strip and the small circle together, starting from either side, as you feel comfortable, and then glue two large circles.

From this article you can learn how to make hats for little fashionistas yourself. Of course, it will take a lot of time to get an effective product, but it's worth it. Moreover, today there are many options for making hats and each one is original and interesting in its own way.

Hat Options for Girls

So, if you want, do-it-yourself hats for girls are pretty simple. Of course, you have to work hard, experiment. However, you can create individual masterpieces that no one else has. For example, a very interesting version of a mini-hat that sits on an invisible bed and simply adorns your girl’s head like a hairpin.

Very interesting are the little hats for princesses that run on the rims. They can be decorated very variably and effectively, for example, with beads, rhinestones, bows and ribbons.

You can perform them from various materials - cardboard, colored paper, fabric. Also, headgear decorations can be different - bright nets, beads, Christmas tinsel, laces and the like.

Cardboard Hats

This type of hat is the most popular. They are very easy to do. They can be both high and low, both large and small. Perhaps the most popular do-it-yourself cardboard hat today is the regular top hat and miniature hat on its side. Each of these options has its own scope.

Of the usual cardboard, you can make various options for hats. For example, a huge Hatter cylinder from the movie "Alice in Wonderland" or an ordinary cowboy with a feather. There are many options.

Using a small cardboard cylinder, you can make a glamorous miniature hat on the rim, which will appeal to many fashionistas. It can be easily worn at a ball or just at a gala event.

Mini hat on the rim. Necessary materials

So, we will consider how to make a mini-cap for. To make it, we need:

• two types of scissors (cut and zigzag);
• tweezers;
• pencil;
• compass;
• needle and thread;
• ruler;
• glue;
• five small feathers;
• thick cardboard;
• cardboard cylinder;
• white and black lace;
• beads of two colors;
• ribbons for decoration;
• dense adhesive pad (shabrak);
• black knit fabric;
• black large bead.

Of course, if desired, all the elements can be varied, adding and removing to your taste.

Manufacturing process

So, when creating a hat for girls with your own hands, you need to start the work with cutting and preparing the elements. Cut the circle out of cardboard and then stick the scraper onto the knitwear. Use an iron for this.

Now take the zigzag scissors, cut them off the outer edge of the circle, which will reduce the shedding of fabric. After this, markup for fastening the rim should be done on the wrong side with a simple pencil (since it is on it that the hat will be held on the head).

Now take the cardboard cylinder and glue the bottom on it. Cut out a circle from knitwear that will be equal to the diameter of the bottom of the cylinder. Add a few more centimeters. Now glue it to the bottom and wrap it a little on the cylinder.

The next step in the manufacture of hats for girls with their own hands will be cutting a strip of knitwear. We need it to glue the cylinder, so calculate its width and height based on what size your product is. Add a few centimeters (the joints) to the length and height.

Now sew a piece of fabric so that you have a cylinder. Iron one upper part somewhere by one centimeter. Iron the seam as well. Now glue the cylinder onto the cardboard and fold the lower sections to the inside (they also need to be glued).

Now let's start making the fields at the hat with our own hands for girls. Cut a circle of the diameter that you want to have at the headgear fields. Exactly the same circle (only two centimeters more) should be cut from knitwear. In width, it should be the same as the radius of your fields (plus throw another one and a half centimeters). Sew the strip into the ring and iron one side of the cut somewhere by one centimeter.

Now glue the side that you ironed from the wrong side to the fields. From the outer edge, assemble knitwear using a thread and a needle. Now trim the lace edges of the margins.

Stick the finished cylinder on the finished hat fields. Decorate it with prepared lace, and glue the beads on top. Here you need tweezers. Then glue the feathers of guinea fowls, and next to them - a bow. Decorate the middle of it with a bead.

At the very beginning, we prepared the bottom of the fields, in which there are slots. Insert the loops there and glue them. Then glue this blank to the margins and thread the rim. The hat is ready.

Hat-cylinder. Materials and production start

This type of headgear is a fairly universal thing, as it can easily be used for carnival, as well as for celebratory or social events. If you decide to buy such a hat for yourself, it is easy to make it yourself at home, which will cost you much cheaper. So, we will describe a detailed master class on how to make a cylinder hat with your own hands.

What materials will you need:

• cardboard;
• glue;
• sharp pencil;
• scotch;
• sharp scissors;
• ruler and centimeter;
• decorations to taste.

Now you need to measure the circumference of your head. Measure out exactly as much cardboard in length, plus add three centimeters for gluing. The height of the cylinder is optional.

Now you need to cut out the bottom of the headgear. To do this, twist the cut strip and place it on the cardboard. Circle the circle. Now you should draw another one - the outer one, which will be a few centimeters larger in diameter. Cut the resulting circle to a larger diameter. Make cuts in a line from the outer circle to the small one. Bend them in one direction.

Cut the fields of the hat. Decide on their size and circle. Make an inner circle that will be equal to the diameter of the cylinder. Cut cardboard to the inside outer edge. In addition, you should draw another circle, which will be equal to the diameter of the cylinder. Only inside it is necessary to create another such figure, which will be smaller than the diameter of the cylinder. Cut everything out and make cuts from the inner circle to the outer.

Hat-cylinder. Assembly

So, now we begin to assemble the cylinder-hat for girls with our own hands. Glue the product with glue. For fidelity, use tape on the inner seam. Now apply glue to the ends of the “fringe” of the bottom of the cap, carefully insert them into the cylinder and also fasten it with adhesive tape.

Now let's take care of the fields. Take a circle with curved notches and glue it with the margins so that the notches are sticking up (glue from under the bottom of the fields). Then apply glue to the bent parts and glue them to the cylinder from the inside. Fasten everything with tape.

So, you have a cylinder. To make it look beautiful, you can drape it on top (at your choice) with a cloth or net, decorate it with ribbon, beads, rhinestones, and insert a feather. The hat is ready.

Conclusion

So, now you know what you can make hats for girls with your own hands. Having shown a little imagination and decorating the product, you can get a real work of art that will be enjoyed not only by you, but also by your little fashionista.
