DIY hat - 100 new photos of hat ideas for boys and girls for school and kindergarten

Hats are needed not only to protect your head from the sun or rain - today this accessory complements everyday and festive outfits. And women, men, and children use it.

In some cases, hats emphasize the elegance of the style, in others they serve as an original or sophisticated decoration for an outfit.

Learning how to make hats with your own hands is not difficult. This skill helps you save your budget and also allows you to always be on trend with extremely exclusive items that are ideal for a dress or suit.

On a note! A well-chosen hat will not slip off when tilted, and the width of the crown does not exceed the width of the face. The headdress should match the tone of the rest of the accessories.

Methods and schemes for making hats with your own hands

In addition to the style, you need to choose the material from which the hat will be made. For good thermoregulation and prevention of dermatological inflammation on the scalp, the material should be light and breathable.

For some styles, maintaining shape is important; this is only possible if dense material is used. It is also important that the outer fabric does not fade in the sun and is wear-resistant and practical.

It is best to use straw, shantung, linen, cotton, denim, felt. Yarn, cardboard and paper work well.

Master class on creating an elegant model

Recently, sophisticated hats and headbands with a veil, as well as romantic wedding veils, have become increasingly popular and in demand. This is due to the fact that modern girls want to diversify their usual look with retro accessories in order to feel like a real fashionista from old films. An excellent option in this case is to make a hat with a veil yourself. Master classes contain detailed descriptions that greatly simplify the entire work process.

Materials for work

If the hat is made of fabric, then you will need lining fabric in the form of cotton, synthetics, or natural silk. You also need to stock up on corsage and satin ribbons and other decor.

You should have at hand:

needles of different sizes with different needle eyes;
colored threads, white and black;
scissors and stationery knife;
pencil, marker, compass, tailor's yardstick, ruler;
PVA glue, silicone glue in rods and a gun;
iron.

You may need a drill, a sewing machine, hair hoops, pieces of lace and mesh. The choice of finishing is unlimited; you can use everything from beads to feathers and braid.

Hat made of fabric, cardboard and plastic cap

It’s very easy to make such a hat from fabric and cardboard for a doll with your own hands. To do this, you need to cut out one circle from cardboard, a second, larger circle from fabric, and a third also from fabric, but of such a size that when pulled together it covers the cap of a plastic bottle. Then you will need to insert a cardboard circle and a lid into a fabric circle, sew the fabric with a basting stitch, pull it together and secure the thread. Now all that remains is to glue the cap to the center of the circle covered with fabric and decorate the hat with ribbons.

Hat Shape Options

Today, the trend is fedora hats made of felt - soft, with wide brims.

Boaters and Panama hats are also in great demand - they are easy to make with your own hands, and the choice of material and manufacturing methods is quite wide.

Most often, of course, many people start by making hats for children - first of all, these are hats for matinees in kindergarten or school. There is a great demand here for witch hats (cones), pirate hats (cocked hats), and small decorative hats.

Veils, “pills” and miniature hats that look like hairpins or brooches are in demand during special celebrations - weddings, anniversaries, trips to the opera or theater, etc.

Men may also want top hats (especially steampunk fans) or stetsons.

It’s worth taking a closer look at some options for making hats with your own hands.

Pirate

For such a product, you can use paper, or better yet, felt or thick fabric. The color is, of course, black:

The circumference of the head is measured and the height of the finished cocked hat is determined.
A circle is cut for the inside and brim (their width is equal to the height of the hat). For the fields, the back and front parts are made. After cutting, the fields are sewn together, notches are made on them 1 centimeter before the edge. After this, the stitched parts are well ironed from the inside out.
All elements are sewn together, the edges are covered with golden or red braid (with a small fringe possible), the fields are folded in three places. For pirate decor, an applique is made (or purchased) - a skull and crossbones, and the hat can also be decorated with a feather.

Cylinder

This tall headdress is characterized by a cylinder-shaped crown. The production of such an accessory can be entrusted to a child, and the help of adults will not be superfluous.

The easiest way to make a carnival accessory is from paper, and you can decorate it in a trendy style - steampunk:

For production, you should use thick, large-sized paper - you can buy colored sheets in a specialized store, or you can take whatman paper and paint it in the desired color after assembling the model. Millimeter cardboard is also suitable; it will add strength to the accessory.
First, the head circumference is measured. The resulting value should be divided by 6.28 (2Pi) to find out the radius of the circle for the base.
Three parts are cut out and cut out:

circle – base of the cylinder;
second circle – fields. To do this, the width of the fields is added to the radius of the first circle, after which the inner circle is cut out;
rectangle - for the crown. Its width is equal to the circumference of the head, and its length is equal to the height of the finished product.

On the crown pattern, it is necessary to provide allowances of 2 cm for connection with other elements of the cylinder - lengthwise on one side, widthwise on both sides. The allowance strips should be cut every 2-3 cm.
Next, the crown is glued together in height - glue is applied to the allowance, the edges are overlapped, forming a cylinder. The circle at the base should match the size of the hole in the large circle.
When the crown dries, the allowances on both sides are bent - inward at the top, outward at the bottom.
The upper allowance is coated with glue, a small circle is applied to it (so that the edges of the circles coincide exactly).
The product is turned over with its base on the table, after which you should carefully press the parts of the allowance to the base from the inside of the cylinder with your hand. After this, the lower allowance is smeared with glue, a large circle is put on the cylinder and, going down, is pressed tightly against the paper.

The dried product can be painted and decorated. The steam punk style can be easily emphasized with small and medium-sized parts - for example, from an old watch. To make the process easier, the decor can be attached to tape, and then the tape itself can be glued to the desired place.

Cone

The easiest way is to make a stargazer cone or a little witch's hat from thick paper:

A circle is drawn whose radius is equal to the height of the finished product.
You can make a Vietnamese hat from a full circle - to do this, you need to remove a small section and tightly connect the edges of the cutout.
It is worth attaching two ribbons at an equal distance from the center - they will help hold the hat on your head.
For a sharp cone, you can draw only half a circle, and by trying on a pattern, outline the sector required for the desired size, and cut it out, leaving 2 cm for an allowance on one side.
The allowance is cut into small pieces, they are smeared with glue and the two straight sides of the part are tightly fastened.
After drying, the astrologer's cap can be decorated, but the witch's hat needs a little more work.
The bottom of the finished cone should be outlined on paper, then the brim of the future hat should be drawn around the resulting circle - they can be outlined exactly in a circle, or they can be uneven or torn.
You should also leave a 2 cm strip on the inside.
The margins are cut out, and it is advisable to duplicate the part and glue the elements together.
After drying, the crown and brim are glued together.

Now the product can be decorated - a velvet or satin ribbon with a small buckle inlaid with shiny rhinestones will look great. You can also use a bouquet of small pumpkins and twigs.

Boater

The fastest way to make such an elegant hat is from cardboard; if desired, it can be covered with fabric - preferably cotton, with a pronounced texture.

Measuring the head circumference is very simple - with a flexible wire. Carefully draw the resulting circle on the cardboard and draw wide margins around the base. To clearly connect the parts in the future, it is worth tracing the pencil sketches using a compass. After this, the cardboard elements are cut out.

The wire should be unrolled and measured. A rectangle is drawn on cardboard - its length is equal to the length of the wire, and its width is equal to the desired height of the cap. The folds of the cardboard should run along the width - this way the structure will remain strong.

On a note! Before connecting all the parts, they can be covered with fabric. To do this, all elements are outlined on the material (twice, for the front side and the back side) and cut out. One by one, the cardboard parts are smeared with PVA glue, the corresponding fabric part is placed on them, and carefully straightened out (without excessive tension). Before pasting the opposite side, you should wait until the first side has completely dried.

Now you can connect all the elements using a glue gun. First, the crown is rolled up, then the base and brim are attached to it.

The final operation is decoration; if necessary, the product must be pre-painted.

Panama

A cute Panama hat can be quickly made from paper or newspaper. They provide excellent protection from the sun at the dacha or on the beach.

For a large Panama hat you need a sheet of 60x45 cm, and for a child’s hat 50x38 cm is enough.

The sheet is folded in half, the fold is thoroughly ironed with a ruler. The middle of the sheet is marked. The upper corners are folded end to end and the folds are smoothed. The free strip remaining at the bottom on both sides is bent upward. The ends of the strips are fastened with a stapler or glue.

If desired, the lapels can be decorated with decorative adhesive tape.

Veil

One of the most elegant and elegant headdresses. Such decoration is rightfully considered glamorous - expensive fabrics and decor are used for it. It would be best to consider creating a basic model.

It is very important that the veil is in harmony with the outfit - its style and color, as well as with other accessories.

You can buy ready-made flowers, leaves and beads on elegant wires:

You will need a small piece of veil (mesh, organza), with sides 20x30 centimeters.
To round it, the two lower corners should be cut off, and the fabric should be gathered on top with loose stitches, the finished length should be about three centimeters.
Strings and leaves are sewn to the flower, a gathered veil is attached to the bottom, the ends cling to the decor in the right places, so that the veil ends up slightly covering part of the face.
To make putting on the veil easier, you can use a glue gun to attach a hairpin or a simple automatic hairpin to it.

Cylinder widened at the top

You can make a large hat for kindergarten with your own hands from corrugated cardboard. To make the headdress expand at the top, cut the second half of the central strip of the cylinder into thin noodles, and make the upper circle larger than the usual diameter.

When attaching the parts to each other, you will have to apply a little pressure on the strips so that they move apart.

How to make a hat

Making a hat yourself is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. There will definitely be some kind of material in the house - cardboard, paper, fabric, plastic, leather, etc.

From cardboard

For this original hat you need a cardboard toilet paper roll and some regular cardboard. You also need a glue gun, a compass and white paper, scissors, beads and ribbons. You will need PVA glue and paints:

A part five centimeters high is cut off from the roll. The base of this crown is outlined on cardboard and cut out. For the fields you need a circle with a diameter of five centimeters.
The base is attached to the crown on one edge, and the field on the other using hot glue.
Now the white paper is torn into small pieces, they are smeared with PVA, and then they are tightly pasted over the entire cap.
The parts can be slightly overlapped (crumpled pieces will give an interesting effect).
After drying, the hat is painted and decorated - here everything happens in accordance with the imagination of the master. Flowers and a veil would be very appropriate.

Knitted

The hat can be crocheted in the round using simple light yarn, you will need about 100 grams of any color. It is better to take hooks No. 3.5 and 5. The knitting density should be 12 stitches per 10 cm, with double thread.

The thread is wrapped around the finger and tied into a ring.

1st row – 12 single crochets, knitted into a ring;
2nd row - single crochet, the second also knit into the next column. Repeat up to 18 columns;
Row 3 – 2 single crochets, two more of the same and knit into the next stitch. Repeated five times. There should be 24 columns;
4th row - 3 single crochets, 2 of the same and knit into the next column. Repeat 5 times, up to 30 columns;
Row 5 – 4 single crochets, 2 of the same and knit into the next stitch. Repeat 5 times, up to 36 columns.

Knit in the same way, adding 6 stitches in each row. When there are 66 of them, do not increase them, and knit to a height of 16 cm.

Then the next stitch is a single crochet, 2 of the same, knit into the next stitch. Repeat until the end of the row. Knit another 4 cm, cut the thread. If desired, the hat can be decorated with an elegant flower, or a thin braid can be passed from the bottom, 2-3 cm from the edge.

From fabric

This is one of the easiest options for making a fabric hat. It requires very little material - every housewife has illiquid leftovers of a pleasant color that she doesn’t dare throw away.

The pattern consists of a base - around the head circumference +5 cm - and fields - their width depends on desire:

All elements are prepared in duplicate for strength.
First, identical blanks are sewn together.
The base needs to be stitched almost to the end in a circle, turned out through a small hole, ironed, and carefully hemmed the remaining section by hand.
The fields are stitched along a long circumference, turned inside out, and pressed.
The remaining raw edges are joined and stitched with a simple stitch, followed by a zigzag stitch a second time.

Now you can hem the fields from below to the base. If desired, the Panama hat can be folded over the edge and decorated with an elegant flower.

This is how you can, without having any special skills, make an original hat for a child or an adult - for any occasion. It’s enough to start with a simple product and don’t hold back your imagination.

Mini hat with veil

Tools and materials

crossbar (tape for rigidity) – 1.5 m;
padding polyester (lining);
a piece of satin or other shiny fabric;
fabric for the bow (in our case, red);
veil mesh:
sewing pins;
needle, scissors, matching threads.

Step-by-step instruction

For a hat with your own hands, you first need to make a frame, for which we cut a strip of crossbar 50 cm long and connect it into a ring. Rigelin is sold in craft stores and is used to make clothes where the sewing technology requires tight seams. In our master class, he creates the necessary volume and shape of the future hat. On it we attach ribs from strips 20 cm long (see photo).
We cover the frame with thin padding polyester, trying to distribute it evenly. Seal with pins along the edges.
We turn the edges of the padding inward and hem it.
We drape the workpiece with satin. To ensure that the folds keep their shape and do not unfold or float down, they must be secured with a machine.
We turn the edges of the satin inward and hem it. Along the edges of the hat you need to make loops for the hairpins that hold the hat (up to 1cm long).
Inside the hat we sew a lining, which we cut out of black satin in the shape of a circle with a radius of 15 cm, make a couple of folds and sew it to the hat with a hidden seam.
From the mesh you need to make a circle with a radius of 20 cm and sew the veil with laid-in waves to the hat with a through seam, fixing the folds with your fingers and forming a beautiful shape of the veil. It is better to choose a net with black flies, which add playfulness and flirtatiousness to the hat.
Decorate the hat with bows. We cut out strips of 35 x 17 cm and 14 x 14 cm from black satin, and 29 x 17 cm from red fabric. We fold the strips with the ends in the middle, connect them into a ring by machine or by hand and sew bows along the long side.
We turn it inside out, iron it, assemble the bow (we put a red one on the black part) and sew it to the hat on top of the veil in the very center of the composition.
We try on the finished hat and boldly go to a party or carnival to amaze everyone with our beauty.
