Hey everyone, just thought I would mention that I no longer use Rub N Buff as my preferred metallic paint, you can check out my current favourite paints and supplies on my Amazon page (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/lostwax

This is MAGNIFICENT. I have been searching EVERYWHERE for a top hat with a large brim, to no avail. So, now I can just get out my yoga mat, cut it up, glue it and spray paint and make my own. THANKYOU SO MUCH for sharing, I LOVE HATZ. Everyone loves hatz!!!

Time/headache saving tip: I had a heckuva time using the epoxy. It was curing too quickly and my rivets were coming out stringy and not at all like I'd hoped. I used Ranger's glossy accents, which dries clear and has a needle tip bottle for dispensing. It worked amazingly well, and very quick. It's a fantastic adhesive for dimensional elements as well. You can purchase it at any scrapbook store or at Michaels and it goes a long way.

@LostWax 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check that out. Some people really like the epoxy, but others hate it, so it's good to have options.

Here's a response to Lou M, Unfortunately I can't respond directly to your question, in order to allow me to respond, go to Google plus settings, open Google account settings, Where it says "who can click on your public posts" change it to "anyone" That would be awesome! As far as sizes, the pattern comes with 9 sizes from 41cm to 63 cm head diameters. I haven't had anyone yet tell me that there wasn't a size that fit them, so you should be alright.

Looks better up close where you can see the rivets; from a distance it looks a little messy. This is probably because the hat looks the same on all sides. Perhaps one might pick up a few plastic cogs or other steampunk-style objects, paint them in bronze/gold paint, and affix them to the hat? It would break up the monotony of the hat's appearance, and add some extra flair.
