How to Make a Custom Wizard Hat 

I CAN FINALLY DRESS PROPERLY WHEN HOING TO THE LIBRARY

For anybody making this, you need 2 yards of fabric instead of the 1 yard as stated. There is no way to fit the 2 circles and the cone with the measurements as given in 1 yard of fabric.

Just as a note, with your initial circle, the reason you ended up with a larger diameter is because of how you were using the pen part of it. Your lengths were with the marker vertical, but you used it at an angle

this is phenomenal. straight up. I keep seeing these on etsy etc. for like $80 CAD. I can't wait to make my own hat! much more worth the cost when its handmade. Keep up the great work!

If i could make a suggestion, remember, it's a hat, it's supposed to act like a portable roof. As such, the brim to cone connection could be a little more effective of overlapped instead of how it's shown. As such, a ribbon or separate peace of material wrapped around to hide the seam and it may be more effective in the rain.

couldn't you have sewn the batting in before you flipped it inside out that way you wouldn't have to sew the circumference seam twice?

Thank you so much for this tutorial, its very easy to understand for someone who's got little to no sewing skills

You cured my slump! Love this! Thank you so much!

Thank you sooo much! Such a clear tutorial!

How Fun! Great Job! I love seeing men sew. ✂️

I made this! I have very little sewing experience- I would say this is a beginner/intermediate level project where a bit of prior experience is necessary, but nothing here is too advanced I couldn't make it! The measurement adjustment was the hardest part for me- my boyfriend typically wears a hat size XXL and despite adjusting it up a couple inches, between seam sewing and hand sewing the brim/cone seam shut for appearances, it got a bit small. My brim also ended up a bit short and not as angled. The sinch seam was surprisingly easy and made such a cool effect! took it from pointy cone to 1000% a wizard hat. Only complaint is that I wasn't sure how to sew in the cap to hold in the filling- attaching it to the brim/cone seam made it way less hollow and unable to sit on a head. Ended up attaching part of the flap to my sinch seam. Good tutorial!

Muchas gracias, te ha quedado genial. 👏👏👏👏

Flame of Udûn! That's a really well-done instructional video. Nice job.

Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make it

Oh, this is fantastic! I’m making a more historically accurate-ish medieval Sorcerer Mickey cosplay and I’ve been really struggling over how to design the hat and go about making it. This addressed most of my questions and concerns about it! I’ll definitely be trying this out. 😃

Watched your staff video and I went to your channel to see if you did any other Middle Earth sort of stuff. The second I saw this video I immediately subscribed. I'm probably going to make the staff first. Keep doing what you're doing!

Honestly this tutorial was the best. It really helped me figure out how to get my sorcerer’s apprentice hat done

That was awesome, most excellent wizard hat!

This looks amazing, can't wait to try it!

my guy this is an amazing tutorial! Super easy to understand! Thanks!

that was great Thank you for sharing your craft

This is seriously awesome. I’m making mine for this Halloween

Awesome job! 🧙‍♂️

Wow these turned out so nice! Bought 2 yards and made lining out of felt also. Got 1 adult and 2 child hats. I did add a wired edge to liner for stiffness and shortened cone a big for McGonagall hat.. wish I could add photo, tirned out excellent!

So for a more poseable point add a line of wire to the inside with the polyfill and you won't need to sinch pin.

Good day Sir! I wanted to applaud and thank you for this fine video. I have just finished construction of my Gandalf hat, after using your step by step tutorial, and am thrilled with the result. Very good of you to post this, and I am sure that many more people will succeed in making their own wizard's hat. Thank you once more!

This is really neat, I am gonna try to make one for myself.

AMAZING! I'm definitely gonna make it!

Thank you! So simple and beautiful !

My 13yo wants to be a sorceress for Halloween this year and this hat was perfect. I didn’t make it quite so pointy at the end and I only very loosely stuffed it. I also used Peltex 70 ultra firm stabilizer instead of batting because I bought supplies before finding this tutorial so it’s what I had on hand. You did a nice job explaining the steps and my daughter is thrilled with the finished product. Thank you!!

Thanks! I made this with purple felt for my witchcraft lectures (I'm a Hist. Prof) and it was great. Also, your brim technique is superior (i.e. easier, while still making a good brim) to others for making bucket hats, so I'm going to try that. What a great video!

Really nice tutorial, I wish there was a way to make a weathered effect on the edges despite the stuffing

Love this. Perfect for my grandpa, Gandalf.

Very good explination, thanks

Inspiring. Well done

Very good great job well explained

Thanks for your video, I will try and make one. If it comes out I'll send a picture

This is IMPORTANT information!! ✨

Love it! Thankyou!!!

Great video! Now I want my own sewing machine!

This is the best tutorial

Love it !!!!

If you use white or a lighter shade of felt you can use dyes to custom color it =) Great tutorial, thank you.

This was hella helpful. I'm planning on making this for a friend for his bday but instead of it being gray I was going to make it purple to make glep from smiling friends.

Love it

New subscriber that is one awesome hat thank you so much for sharing

very cool hat, thank you very much

HEY CALEB,... YOU ARE A WIZARD, LOVE THIS HAT.. YEARS AGO, MADE A MCGONAGALL HAT FOR MY EX'S FRIEND AT WORK, JUST BY THE VIDEO AND MEMORY, BUT YOUR IS NICE, AND I USE A WIRE AROUND BRIM.. BUT YOURS IS NICE AND SIMPLE... WELL DONE.. NOW THANKS HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT...!!!!! TO GO WITH THE STAFF..!!!

Nice job!!!

Pretty wizard, bro!

A meno that can cut a fabric, explain the methods and why do something in that way and can sew with the sewing machine!!!! Can I marry you?

This is awesome. I wish I had measurements for children sizes.

well done

This hat does look great!! But too difficult for me, not having any sewing machine

you are cool, and just earned a new sub

Great job..from Jordan big hi

Thanks.

I came looking for a wetfelting tutorial but this is pretty nice too

I used your tutorial to create a Rincewind hat for my nephew. It worked out great. I did stitch the inner circle to the brim and hat seam originally, (I thought that is what you did in the video) but hat to remove it and then sewed it about 4 inches higher and that allowed the hat to sit on the head. Thank you!!

I learnt one thing from this turtorial and I made a wisard hat smaller than a guinea pig head for my guinea pig

Fresh

Einfach perfekt supergut danke

Happy Halloween 27 days leftover Warlock houring cool hat nice

V HELPFUL TY SIR -taako cosplayer

Thank you for doing this!

nice

jajajaja now i really wanna be Gandalf !

Great design! #RachelMaksy which wizard hat will you make? Gandalf for your Frodo?

i put on my robe and wizard hat

Friends said WOW when I ambitiously sewed a Sherlock Holmes coat in brushed black denim with liner and cape as my third project. BUT,,, that was 1991 and I'm sure Ida got a better job by looking up videos like this one to get a better finish at even my noob level.

Mooi man

Hell-ooooooo, wizard ray hereh

Thank you for making a video of this tutorial This really is super! Quick question for the cone part. How do you know how far to pivot? I tried making a hat like this and that was the part that stumped me the most. Everything else I could work out, except how far to go with the pivot from the edge inward. Thanks!

真棒❤🎉

Why did he cut twice after the overlap?! You only need to cut off where marked on the left to lose the excess underneath.

Show 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

This is a great tutorial! How thick was the felt you used? I can't tell if its 1.5 mm or 3 mm

Machine sewing exterior seams? Heresy!

how big do you think you could make the brim without it being too floppy?

i did a wizard hat too, but i didnt used any sewing machine. i made it with strong paper, fabric and glue.

Would you be able to decorate it without it bringing down the weight on the rim of the hat?

how would you recommend weatherproofing a felt hat? Do you need a type of wax or is scotchgard sufficient?

How large was the cut of fabric you got for this project?

Kind of at a standstill here... any help would be nice... When he makes the slit, around 4:20, i realize he says to make sure it fits... But when you make your hole at 9 inches, then make that slit to overlap the other side (to make the slope)... The hole gets smaller and smaller. There's no way to regain that diameter of 9 inches. How do you solve the issue? Make the hole larger??

Wizards hat is just the fedora of medieval times. Why do you think they were always saying m'lady back then

What’s the white stuff they put inside the hat

If I want the brim to be less sloped, should I just make the hole in the middle closer to my head measurement to begin with?

is felt a necessary fabric or could someone use something else? just wanna know before i make any purchases, and i wanna know if fabric i already have would be okay or not (since it’d match the costume the hat goes with)

wizardsssss

oh to have a sewing machine 😞
