How to Make a Duct Tape Baseball Cap

Ducktivity provided by Duck® Brand

The sun is finally out of hibernation and it’s time to grab the peanuts and popcorn and head to the ballpark for America’s favorite past-time. To protect yourself from the suns rays as you sit in the stands, create your very own Duck® brand duct tape baseball hat so you can root, root, root for the home team! Simply follow the easy step-by-step directions below and you’ll be as big of a hit as the first homerun of the season!

Directions

Step 1

1 – 1.5 hours

Step 2

To save yourself some time, simply cover an old hat with your favorite color(s) of Duck® brand duct tape!

Step 3

Advanced

Step 4

Make a sheet of Duck® brand duct tape fabric that is 16 inches long and seven inches wide. To make your fabric, lay a strip of duct tape sticky side up on a flat surface. Lay the next strip parallel to the first, slightly overlapping the edge. Continue until you have four strips wide. Then, place additional strips sticky side down over the existing sheet to finish your fabric.

Step 5

Taking the old hat, trace six sections of the hat onto the duct tape with your pen or marker. Cut them out using your scissors.

Step 6

Using small pieces of duct tape, tape the sections together on the inside to create the shape of the hat.

Step 7

Lay out two strips of a different color of Duck® brand duct tape on your cutting board, each measuring seven inches long. Using your utility knife, cut them each in half lengthwise – you will end up with four pieces. Then cut each of those pieces in half lengthwise again so you end up with eight pieces. Take one of the long strips and lay it on top of the hat at the seams. Repeat until all the seams are covered.

Step 8

Lay down your old hat on a piece of poster board and trace and cut out the brim of your duct tape hat. Cover the brim in your favorite color of Duck® brand duct tape and then, using small pieces of duct tape, attach the brim to the rest of the hat. Tape it on both the under and top sides of the hat.

This was AWESOME!!!!! It's the best thing I've ever made out of duck tape. Instead of cutting the old hat, I traced it on to a cardboard and cut it out. Best thing I ever made.

Okay, ducktapedude, stop being mean. It's duct tape, so it's obviously not gonna look like the one you buy from the baseball park, and besides, im sure it took them alot of work.

elsy01
Date Added: 03/02/2012 02:31:00

I can't rate it because I have not tried it. But once I get more duct tape, I can. Plus I would cover my old hat too! Great suggestion.

Date Added: 05/12/2012 04:45:00

I think that that is so COOL! Does it feel weird on your head at all? I bet, that if I wore that hat, it would feel a bit WEIRD! I looks so cool though! You are talented.

I just made one and didn't think it was too hard. I decided to make mine adjustable, so I made the back look like a traditional baseball cap.

I have a problem. I try to submit a ductivity and it won't let me! It will not insert my photo. I am doing this on my iPad mini and it keeps saying that my pic is too big or wide. Also, when I press the button to put directions, it keeps taking me back to the same page! Please help!
