A step by step easy way to make a cardboard form to use in shaping hats.
I use these all the time they are so economical to have in as a tool in making and stretching your own hats. I usually make hat form one inch larger than head measurement, this allows for lining and it's easier to make it a bit smaller than to enlarge if needed.

Hi Deanna, I found your channel for the first time yesterday and today I was excited to try to make a hat mold. Your instructions were great. It was fairly easy to do with a little patience. Thanks to you and an Amazon package box, I now have a respectable first edition of your hat mold. Thank you so much for sharing. Next step I'm going to stretch my hides and use your tutorial.

Hi Deanna. Im confused as to how to calculate the diameters for making different sized hat forms. For this one, you used 8" and 6" for a 25" circumference. Can you explain how you came up with those numbers? Thank you!

I divide the total number by 4, so if circumference is 24 each quarter of hat is 6 inches. I change it a bit to more oval shape go to " Melly Sews" website, for a good template
