Making a Foam WIlly Wonka Top Hat

[@DonFassbender]

"It's not bad"? Didn't expect that. Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@MuchProps]

😄 thought that quote from Charlie fit in there nicely. Thanks for watching

[@blizatrex]

The Mr. Wonka we needed.

[@MuchProps]

🤗 so much time and so little to build. Strike that. Reverse it.

Thomas and the Prop Factory

[@MuchProps]

Oh, the wonderland I would build if I was independently wealthy. Until then, I will just chip away one build video at a time. 😁👊

[@traciakierman1]

I think you need a whole Wonka suit Thomas!

[@MuchProps]

That could be a fun one.

[@Justrex01]

Another incredible build, Thomas. I just love your creativity and your passion for your craft. And the Wonka bar was a perfect addition. And now I have another cool template to add to my toolbox. I too, have an odd sized head and it's difficult to find off the shelf hats to fit me well. Now I can just make my own! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@MuchProps]

Us odd sized heads need to stick together. I'm just glad that I can help others be creative.

I appreciate you. 👊

It looked amazing on you KING 👊

[@MuchProps]

Thank you very much. 😁👊

[@terrykitchen5214]

That was a fun one. Willy Wonka was one of my favorite movies too. That patter can be used for alot of things. Ideas, ideas!

[@MuchProps]

I have some ideas brewing for a mod or two down the line. Can't wait to see what people come up with.

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

That texture you got with the Mod Podge looks awesome!

[@traciakierman1]

That's what I was going to say! I'm going to need to remember this for the next time I need texture.

[@MuchProps]

Thanks. You could probably get finer texture with a better brush and hit it up a little closer to it, starting to set. I just did it on my initial pass. Might have to do some experiments.

[@tiahuggins]

This is excellent. I have been making a Willy Wonka hat out of cardboard for my granddaughter for Halloween, but it is heavy and not flexible. I am going to start over. Thank you!

[@MuchProps]

@@tiahuggins glad I could help. 😁👊

[@vharrald]

That top hat suits you Thomas... You could easily fit in the old Dickens tale. Maybe even be Scrooge's nephew or tiny Tim's dad....

[@MuchProps]

Thanks. It definitely makes me feel a bit dapper.

[@vharrald]

@@MuchProps I dare you to dress up like your photo and teach your class😁😶‍🌫️🧐

[@watercolorhomie146]

Dude yes... the OG Wonka the best! 🎉 excited for this lesson teach! 😊

[@MuchProps]

The new one is pretty good, but Gene Wilder will forever be my Willy Wonka. That nostalgia can't be beat.

[@ryanj.leonhart2264]

Fun and playful build....love it brother!!

[@MuchProps]

😁👊

[@thecosplaynoobj3872]

I say his cane and maybe even an Everlasting Gobstopper! I’m seriously considering using this and any other props you might design from this movie for this years Halloween and perhaps even dress attire for our local Christmas parade!! I love this! Thank you sir!

[@MuchProps]

Those are some great suggestions. Can't make any promises, but I am always looking for build ideas.

[@thAdmakesstuff09]

Amazing as always

[@MuchProps]

Thanks so much

[@AleXGonzalez-bi2dv]

Love it , great work

[@MuchProps]

Thanks

[@HopskotchBunny]

Very nice!

[@MuchProps]

Thanks!

[@Ervinzky.Geraldi]

thank you! i've been looking this foam top hat pattern for like 3 weeks. i'm planning to make Dr.Facilier's hat with it

[@erikpeters8507]

SKS Props' channel has a video from a while ago that includes a template, too. His has some feather/skull/voodoo sort of designs that you might be able to use with this one.

[@MuchProps]

There are for sure others out there, like Erik said I think SKS Props did a voodoo top hat about 2 years ago. My template is attached below, so have fun.

[@clazoDELAVEGA]

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot!

[@MuchProps]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Shamil_Kulakhmetov]

That's not bad 👍👍

[@MuchProps]

👊I'll take it.

[@ricardoparreira474]

Fantástico lindo muito perfeito PARABÉNS ❤

[@MuchProps]

Thanks so much

[@MROC66]

You gotta make the half head form to display it on !

[@MuchProps]

I thought about that as I was building this. I may cut one that i have in half 😄

[@Darkeklaw]

You could easily convert this pattern to a leather top hat pattern by doing stitching holes instead of glue. Although it might change the width of the brim by 1/8 inch. It will also probably have a cross-stitch up the back :D you'd also have to make the extra brim leather a bit larger so it could fold over since you would need to add a wire to shape the brim. The possibilities are ENDLESS...

[@MuchProps]

If I ever decide to try that out, I definitely know whose brain I can pick. Have you done a top hat yet in your leather working adventures.

[@MrNu1982]

While watching this I thought what if you took the rotary tool "crumbs" or "shavings" use spray adhesive and "faux" flock the hat to give that Velvet like texture with the way you use the Dremel I know that that would be fairly ready to collect lol but it could work if you are crazy enough to try that is tedious yes worth it maybe next level thinking definitely lol anyway love the movie love the build great work as always

[@MuchProps]

That would make for an interesting dabble. I would be curious how the glued on dust would take paint. It may be one of those things that you would want the foam to be the finish color. Might have to try that out at some point.

[@MrNu1982]

Well I would venture to say/guess after the spray does it's thing mod podge it as a clear coat since it doesn't thicken when it dries which would allow the faux texture to remain because plati-dip would dry thick killing the texturization a few mod coats probably would allow painting to be applicable , I know if you had kept the dust from all the projects you had finished you might have had enough to make a whole "teddy bear " suit lol you should contact all your fellow tuner and have them send you their dust lol jk . Man to do a pokemon this way would make it look realistic hmm a life sized Pikachu with "fur" that would be insane looking (milestone KZbin sub build ideas bam) Everytime I watch your videos I get inspired 👍💯

[@adrianstanfill4070]

Awesome dude you should make the space Monkey mask from gta 5

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

Question can this also work as a hat for Oswald CobblePot The Penguin in Batman

[@MuchProps]

I wouldn't see why not. It's just a different color and no textured finished

[@LinkTotkGamer]

Make sabos goggles and hat from one piece

[@MuchProps]

Thanks for the suggestion
