Cosplay Inspiration: DIY Steampunk Hats

Cosplay Inspiration: How to Make Steampunk Hats Your look needs one of these hats. Looking for the perfect finishing touch for your steampunk costume? How about one of these hats? They are really easy to put together using an inexpensive purchased or thrifted hat as the base, and your creativity as the wow factor. Using a variety of Dritz® hardware fasteners and other soft, textured materials, you can make a bespoke steampunk hat that crowns your costume, or that IS your costume. (Yes, they are that solid.) Take a peek: see all eight looks, and plan some DIY hat action. Steampunk hat #1: This faux suede hat has great structure. Because it stands firm and tall, it’s ideal for loading up with Dritz® hardware – which we did! We also love the shape of its brim – perfect for embellishing with Dritz® double-cap rivets, which are visible as the brim curves up on the sides. Product resources for this hat: Dritz® sew-on snaps, double-cap rivets, safety pins, hooks & eyes, eyelets with lacing. Tips for making a hat like this: Pin your pieces in place to plan it first, or freestyle it as you go (that’s honestly what we did). We attached most pieces with E6000® glue.
