How to Make a Beautiful Hat 

That we need to know before making a hat is hat parts consisting of a crown and a brim. For the model, I make this brim is just in front like a ceremonial hat model.

To make felt hat, prepare the equipment and materials needed are:
1. HVs paper for pattern
2. Felt fabric
3. Needle and thread
4. Scissors
5. Glue gun

1. First, measure first the head circumference to be made hat, eg hat for children or for adults. In this tutorial the hat is made indeed for the doll.

The size of the head circumference is used for the size of crown / crown cap. As for the brim / periphery hat can be adjusted with the desire. In the picture is a felt fabric that is cut into a circle with a diameter of 20 cm.

2. The next step, make the folds like in the picture with the help of a pin needle to form like a bowl. And this is called the crown. For crown size or hat circumference is 32cm

3. Next step, cut the felt fabric into a straight piece. Because the felt used is 25 cm in size then it takes 3 pieces and later must be connected. This step is the process of making hat edges.

4. The next step is to connect the fabric so that the result looks like in the picture. There are two parts to the outside and inside the hat.

5. The next step is to make the brim or the front of the hat. Create a brim pattern or a front hat like in the picture and apply it to felt fabric.

6. And that is the brim made up of 2 pieces of felt. For the size of the brim can be adjusted with the desire.

7. The next step is to sew the brim then turn the cloth and the result looks like in the picture.

8. The next step is to unify the brim with a hat. Use pin needle to ease the workmanship process.

9. Next step, sew brim and hat edges. After that open the fold so that the result looks like in the picture.

10. Next step, combine the crown with a brim that had been made earlier. Move the pin needle and then sew the circle following the brim.

11. After the sewing process finishes then turn the hat and the result looks like in the picture.

12. For the inside of the hat, give the glue gun and fold the brim or the edges of the hat neatly.

13. Until here, the process of making the hat is finished. The hat is ready and formed according to the desire but we need to add decoration.

14. For decoration, we make a rose roll. Make as much as 5. After that, paste on the front hat. Done
