This is going to have to be fast, so I'm doing sort of a photo essay. These were the pieces I cut out for my first try at the captain's hat:
I was going to use the bottom, but I ended up liking the piece I cut off better. This turned into that:
The construction hat was made using the baseball hat pattern, with a line down the middle and a smaller brim. Random during shot of the glue process:
As you can see, I used a styrofoam ball to shape the baseball and construction hats. If I do this again, I would definitely try something else. The insides of both hats are covered in little pieces of styrofoam.
I did the glue yesterday afternoon, and they weren't really dry until this morning. I added the tags:
and now they're totally done. I'm turning them in tomorrow, along with the rest of my project, and I'm glad to have them off my to-do list!
Sorry for the quickie, but I'll have more details tomorrow!
