Make Your Own Baseball Cap

The charm of beauty is not only on modern apparel and make ups

, but also the most practical way of wearing hats/caps. A fashionable hat will make you distinguished from the simple outfits.

When you choose to create your own baseball cap you can get very creative. You can pick the color, style, design, closure and the imprint on them. Baseball caps are not just worn at baseball games they are now an everyday accessory.

Baseball caps can be made of various fabrics such as mesh, felt, denim and even leather. The next thing you will want to decide on is the closure on the back of the hat. Closures range from elastic, metal clasps to Velcro. If you want a simple closure for your cap you will want to pick elastic of Velcro closure. If you want something a little more elaborate or expensive looking you can pick a metal clasp.

Once you have chosen the closure it is time to pick and cut the fabric. First you will need to take a measurement of the head of the person the cap is for. Take a measuring tape and measure the crown part of the head. Then place your measuring tape down on the fabric and with a pencil, starting a center point or dot, from the half way mark on the measuring tape, make a 360 degree circle using the length of the half way mark on the measuring tape. For example, suppose the crown is 18 inches. Half of 18 are 9 so you will want to come outwards from the center dot on the fabric 9 inches. Make several ticks on the fabric using this measurement then connect the ticks making a circle. Cut the circle you have made out with a sharp pair of scissors and put it aside.

The next step is to make the bill. This will be the toughest part. To make the bill, you will want to find a piece of stiff cardboard or some other material such as plastic but make your choice by the ease in which to cut it. You don't want to have to literally saw through the material to finish your hand made baseball cap. Once you get our material, you will want to measure the width of the forehead of the person who is going to wear it.

Afterwards, mark this on the material that you chose to make the bill and cut a rectangle that is at least 5 inches wide by the length of the forehead long. With a needle and thread, sew the bill to the cap part of the then attach the clasp on the rear of the cap.

Once you cap is constructed there is still more fun to be had. You now get to decorate it. You can add anything from glitter to gems and even add an applique. You can truly express yourself when decorating your cap.
