THIS IS PEFECT! So helpful! I have a jack sparrow costume, but never got a hat! I'll definitely be using this! Thank you!

[@SKSProps]

Thanks Alyson! And you are very welcome 👍👍

I needed one that fits my Jack wig and all the dreads. This will definitely get me there!

this method of attaching the brim is so much better than other patterns I've used before!!! it looks so seamless and beautiful

Came for the tutorial, stayed for the smile and dimples. And now I know how to make a pirate hat for Ren Fest next month! Thank you!

[@SKSProps]

Awesome! Have fun! 👍👍

[@RSpudieD]

That turned out really good! I'm impressed with how simple the structure is and how well the painting made it look like leather! The tinfoil technique helped a lot but the paint and finishes sell it!

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!

That’s how I read those kinds of comments, too 😂 Really awesome job with the textures/paint!

Отлично! Это шляпа из толстого фетра покрашена под кожу.Спасибо за конструкцию и демонстрацию, потому что я тоже пришла к такому методу,но не решалась его сделать - боялась,что не получится.Теперь вы убрали мои сомнения и я воспользуюсь вашими конструкциями и сделаю пиратскую шляпу!

Ooo been waiting fdor this one to come out since you teased it on Instagram. Super excited!

[@SKSProps]

[@debbarclay2449]

Love this! I am making it for my husbands Halloween costume. Your video says you can make this hat for around $5, I suppose you can if you already have all the supplies but it's pretty pricey when you don't have any of the supplies. I am still going to make it though since it's WAY better than anything I have seen for purchase online.

[@MrFTW]

Remarkable! You would never suspect that was foam!

[@bmth0506]

How would I translate this to leather? Such as attaching the top to the brim with stitching?

[@SKSProps]

I’m not a leather worker but check out my friends prince armory they could prob give some tips

[@markchristianktbak9896]

I dont own a printer, but would Like to make this hat. But I do have trouble making the 4 top parts, so that they fit My head.

[@MayliSong]

Wouldn’t it be easier to texture the pieces before assembling the hat? Or does doing it once assembled have a purpose, like helping direct the look or preventing damage when assembling?

[@SKSProps]

If you add texture with heat you can’t heat it again or the texture will disappear. So if you have to heat form the pieces for the top of the hat or brim you can’t. That’s why texture is added after its fabricated

[@MayliSong]

@@SKSProps Ah, that makes a ton of sense, thanks for the speedy response! You’d be able to reheat and retexture it if the texture did come out when assembling? Obviously not after paint, I’d imagine the paint probably wouldn’t react well to the heat, and the texture probably wouldn’t take through it anyway.

[@SKSProps]

@@MayliSong you wouldn’t want to reheat the foam after Plasti dip has been applied to seal it

[@SKSProps]

[@samueljames9057]

Why do you use cement sometimes but super glue others?

[@SKSProps]

Most of the time I prefer superglue because it dries faster and adding additional heat won’t weaken the bond. I use contact cement if it is a large or very heavy wear area

[@presterjohn1697]

that was dope

[@SKSProps]

Thanks!

[@EmilyJenson-x3i]

Can you tell us a little more about glue? For the glue can other glues be used rather than rubber cement? Why rubber cement for the top of the hat and super glue for the brim? Just trying to understand when to use which glue or if other glues can be substituted.

[@SKSProps]

Contact cement not rubber cement. Contact cement is better for heavy wear, or pieces that are under stress like curving a dome. Super glue is fine for everything else and will usually keep the build cleaner. Since contact cement has to have the adhesive in the exact spot on both pieces

Do you think you can do the bloodborne hat

Just modify this pattern it’s the same basic design

[@brennun198]

I made mine following this but with felt 😬

[@Etheay]

Could it be possible that I could fo this with cereal box cardboard

[@SKSProps]

You could always try but it will probably be tough because foam can do complex curves that other materials just can't. But if you attempt the build definitely let me know

[@blizatrex]

Take all you can and Give nothing back! I was just using that foil technique earlier today.

[@SKSProps]

Yo ho! 👍

[@090382AKN]

If you do the texturing before you pull up the brim, it is soooo much easier.

An awesome tutorial over what should be a simple design. Quick question on the plastidip: how did you apply it, if at all, in the areas where the brim is glued to the dome?

[@SKSProps]

Thanks! The Plasti dip really only needs to be in wear areas on the outside. if I can’t get it to cover under the brim or hard to reach areas I just paint that by hand with some black acrylics 👍

I would like to use this pattern to make my son a hat as he's obsessed with Jack Sparrow. However, my printer does not have a poster option. What are the dimensions of the poster option your reference in the video? Thanks!

[@SKSProps]

You need to follow the directions on my site and open the pdf in adobe acrobat or adobe reader and click poster in the page size area that scales it properly over several sheets regardless of your paper size

[@dulceghost9526]

Does it affect the final product much if you don't use a heat gun?

[@SKSProps]

Depends on the foam my foam can be manipulated by hand without a heat gun it just helps. Most other brands of foam are as high density so you have to use a heat gun to get it to form properly.

[@dulceghost9526]

@@SKSProps ah okay, so if the foam was thicker the heat gun would make it easier to manipulate into the shapes wanted?

[@SKSProps]

@@dulceghost9526 Yes, but also the quality of the foam makes a difference, Take for instance the 6mm foam at Hobby Lobby and my 6mm theirs is a lower density and a higher shore hardness. Even though both are 6mm you'd have to use a heat gun on their foam just because the quality of the foam is worse

[@SKSProps]

Thank you!

[@shawnholton5182]

Why do you use super glue in some areas and contact cement in others?

[@SKSProps]

contact cement is good for large and heavy wear areas. Super glue is good for details and keeps the overall build cleaner. Both work great on their own and I actually use them together as a double adhesive method in multiple builds
