Hi, I'm Sophie and welcome to my world
well here we are back again making a
duct-tape hat that's right and today
we're going to make the brim
so here's what you need to make your
brim you're going to need the template
from my website duct tape a ruler
scissors sharpie pen parchment paper and
a cereal box for the cardboard you'll
also need the band that we made from
part 1 and exacto knife first thing
you're going to need is you are going to
need the template which you can get on
my website www.sophie-world.com
download that cut it out and what we are
going to use is I found the best thing
is cereal boxes so I'm going to take a
cereal box open it up and turn it inside
out just like this take my template lay
it on top
trace it out and then cut it out so that
I end up with a nice cut out piece of
cardboard now for this project you are
going to need a lot of little tiny
pieces of duct tape and do this ahead of
time so that you don't have to worry
about stopping and cutting each time the
best way to do this i've already done a
whole bunch for myself but the best way
to do this about just show you very
quickly lay this out on your work
surface take your exacto knife and cut
them every half-inch and if you just do
this ahead of time
this will give you an easier way of
making a project so here's the thing you
want about 30 inches cut into half inch
strips so just to give you the heads-up
on that what we are going to start by
doing is covering this entire edge on
the outer edge here with duct tape so
you take the little edges and cover
those first now this is the probably the
hardest part to cover and what I like to
do is just take my tape and put it kind
of catty corner on an angle here that's
about I guess about a 45 degree angle
here right around that edge
and you want to you want to get it
pretty pretty darn close because what
we're going to do is actually wrap the
whole thing around and just going to
wrap it like a rapper all the way around
so it's like I've coated the entire
endcap there that little horn and now I
can start coming back in this direction
and wrapping these around in little
pieces once you start getting to the the
larger parts you won't be wrapping it
entirely but on the smaller parts these
edges you are going to be wrapping the
entire piece with a piece of tape
and as you can see on the back here
we've got a little extra that's open
like that if you flip it over and you
see that cover that up so going to cover
it up here again just wrap it around get
it as close as you can so that you don't
have to cut so I've got that wrap it
around here
there we go what I meant by that is that
if i had had too much tape it would have
stuck to itself and when it sticks to
itself then what happens is it heals
itself when it seals itself then you have
to cut it so you don't want to do that
you want to want to just try to make it
so that it is coating the entire cardboard
once you get started at this point
though now that we're going into the
into the rounded part it gets a little
easier
you're just going to pick these pieces
up and start going around now the most
important part about this is to overlap
and make sure you're always overlapping
by a tiny little bit and you're covering
every little bit so you can flip it over
every now and then it just make sure
that you're covering every little bit of
this and you can see why you have a need
for lots and lots of these little
strips because you are covering this
entire area now you're probably saying
well why don't i just use big giant
strips
wouldn't that be easier here's the
problem because you are going on a curve
if you sew you would understand this but
this is one of the things about sewing
that I learned you've always got to have
little notches or what you end up
getting are these big kind of keloids
you get these really
wrinkles and that's not going to look very
good now you certainly if that's the way
you want to do it you can do it but I'm
just giving you my my head's up on the
way that I like to do this and this
turned out to be the easiest way for me
so as you can see I'm just covering
covering covering and there's the
backside of it
so you're just going to continue doing
that for the entire front end not the
backend just the front end so that it
ends up looking like that and as you can
see the edges on either side completely
covered and then it comes all the way
around the front and you can see on both
sides covered
there's a little spot right there i just
noticed i'm going to cover that just
wanna make sure this whole back is
covered like that now the next thing
I want to do is I want to make a
giant label now if you don't know how to
make a sticker I'm going to teach you right
now but you could always go back to my
website www.sophie-world.com and learn how
to make a sticker basically what we're
doing here is we're going to take some
parchment paper and we're going to make
a double-sided sticker so I've got tape
that is 20 inches long here and i'm
laying it on my parchment paper half on
half off as you can see going to take
another strip and when I lay this down
I want to make sure that I'm overlapping
by at least a quarter to a half an inch
take my third strip four strips should
do you lay it over and then the fifth strip
what I'm going to do move this down a
little bit because what i want to do is
get it half way on here use my template what
I'm making is a two-sided sticker so I'm
gonna pull this up and flip this over so
I want to make sure that it's even on
both sides so that it is big enough when
I take my template and lay this on here
that I can trace this on going to just
trace it around here trace it around
here
cut it out and i'll end up with this
double-sided sticker and as you can see
the parchment paper is in between my two
layers i'm going to hold onto this
because right now what we're going to do
is attach this fabulous brim to the hat
this is where we're going to need lots
and lots of these little pieces of tape
again and this time I've actually split
them in half even further so I had my
1-inch strips that were or half inch
strips that were two inches long
now i'm cutting these in half to make
them even smaller and the reason is i'm
going to use these to stick the brim to
the band now gonna get that centered
nice and center right about there and
what I'm going to do is just kind of
mark off a couple spots here first so
you can see I just lift that up and just
place it right on to the brim lift it up
so I'm getting kind of like the the
pressure points or the important points
spaces where it will help it to hold
together while I'm working on it because
i'm going to actually
start on the inside once I've got this
kind of secured here
ok so I'm going to come around to this
side right here there we go
ok so see I've got about seven pieces
here and you can see that that's forming
the hat shape now what I'm going to do
is take all these little pieces of tape
i'm going to do exactly like I did the
front there but as you can see it's a
lot easier on the backside and just keep
going around and around here
sealing the brim to the hat and then we
come to the outside again and lay your strips
down as you can see if you got your
strips are cut then you can make these
go really quickly I'm going to actually
jump ahead here just because this as you
can see that takes a while this is why i
said if you saw the first video it takes
about two hours to make this hat so i'm
going to jump ahead here as you see once
this is all done they'll be all these
little pieces here and there's all these
little pieces here we want to cover that
up and make that nice and neat so that's
why we've made this sticker and peel
apart the sticker and lay it right over
top as close as I can get and this
is going to seal in all those little
pieces of tape make it nice and sturdy
and make it all one piece and flip it
over and do the same thing on the back
now I found that parchment paper is the
best way to do this but I've also
discovered that and this is not to be a
product placement but Reynolds brand
parchment paper seems to be the best
so now you can see that makes that nice
and clean
and nice and clean and we are ready to
almost finish this hat off all we need
well actually if you want if you just
want to have one of those visor bands
your set but i'm going to teach you next
how to put the topper on so that you
have an actual hat so for the next steps
and more stuff like this coming back
