  • Step No. 1 – Gather The Supplies

  • Step No. 2 – Measure & Cut The Cord For The Band

    Wrap the cord and leather lacing around the wide brim hat to the point where the decorative lacing is needed. Once done, use the scissors to cut it.2

  • Step No. 3 – Braid The Cord

    Next thing to do is to braid together the pieces of leather lacing and cord you have already cut. If you are using few pieces of decorative lacing, make sure to double up on the sides, so that you can create a more textured look. Afterwards, tie off the end, thus secure the braid, which will actually work as a hat band.3

  • Step No. 4 – Affix And Wrap The Band

    To successfully complete this task, use the needle and the thread, so that you can sew the band to the wide brim hat with a couple of stitches. Following ‘to-do’ is wrap the band around the hat and keep sewing it to the hat to ensure a secure braided lacing.4

  • Step No. 5 – Affix The Leathers

    Choose the specific areas of the wide brim hat where you want the feathers placed, and then glue them by using a special glue gun.5

  • Step No. 6 – Let Dry

    Once you are done with all the aforementioned tasks, wait for about 10 minutes to let the glue set nicely. And you are all set to rock with your brand new wide brim hat!6
