Late night crafting


This will probably be one of many late night craft sessions/blog posts. It’s just a trend for me to start crafting in the evening.. Anywho, let’s get to the meat of this post! After watching Threadbanger’s latest video, I was inspired to make a billed beanie. Even though the video topic this week was male fashion, I liked the beanie too much to pass up.

I kind of threw together a half-assed tutorial… really it’s just a few pictures of some of the steps to make the hat. If you want a really detailed explanation, please check out the video (the link above) because it will be a way better tutorial, haha.

Here’s everything cut out.. Hehe, camo duct tape :)

Almost done! Just gotta sew the bill on!

And wa-la!

I love this hat.

So basically I’m going to make a lot more of these cuz I think they’re just so darn cute ;) I already know a few people who I need to make some for!

Great way to repurpose an old sweater into a cool hat. You could even leave the bill off and have a cool looking winter beanie hat.

Hi…I just found your web site and I think you are very creative. I loved your cassette wallet. I have two VCR tapes that have broken tapes and I’m going to try to use them to make larger wallets. If I succeed I’ll let you know. Keep up your creative work. Yours Truly, Maria
