- lets move out of the shop and into the sewing room for this project as I show you how to make a custom wizard hat from scratch. This project does require sewing skills but nothing too hard, and if you don't have a sewing machine you could also do it all by hand.

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.
I wish I'd read your comment before starting. Now I don't have enough fabric for the cone and it doesn't tell you how wide the doubled over fabric is.
@@ImPorschegirl that’s a shame
I hope you get that sorted
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!
None of that lollygagging, type of video's. Nice work!!! *~.~
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??
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.
You cured my slump! Love this! Thank you so much!
Honestly this tutorial was the best. It really helped me figure out how to get my sorcerer’s apprentice hat done
Thank you sooo much! Such a clear tutorial!
How Fun! Great Job! I love seeing men sew. ✂️
That was awesome, most excellent wizard hat!
This looks amazing, can't wait to try it!
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!
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. 😃
Excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make it
Flame of Udûn! That's a really well-done instructional video. Nice job.
This is seriously awesome. I’m making mine for this Halloween
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?
Yes you totally can. I just didn't think about that when I was sewing. Good find.
This is really neat, I am gonna try to make one for myself.
my guy this is an amazing tutorial! Super easy to understand! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, its very easy to understand for someone who's got little to no sewing skills
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Muchas gracias, te ha quedado genial.
👏👏👏👏
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!
Love this. Perfect for my grandpa, Gandalf.
AMAZING! I'm definitely gonna make it!
Awesome job! 🧙♂️
It looks really cool and good quality! I love it! n.n
Thank you! So simple and beautiful !
Thanks for your video, I will try and make one. If it comes out I'll send a picture
that was great Thank you for sharing your craft
This turned out great!!
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!
This video has over 130k views... pretty sure 10k of them was from me rewinding and rewatching as I sew XD
Great video!!! Thanks so much!!! I'm making 2 of these hats and so far they are turning out great. Thanks so much again!!!
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.
This is a great tutorial thank you!
This is IMPORTANT information!! ✨
This is amazing.
Inspiring. Well done
Great video! Now I want my own sewing machine!
Thanks! You should totally get one. You can get a really good beginner Sewing machine for under $100 and you can do soooo much with sewing skills.
Very good great job well explained
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..!!!
Excellent! Many thanks.
Great tutorial. THANKS!!!!!
Very good explination, thanks
New subscriber that is one awesome hat thank you so much for sharing
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!
I'm a witch, and that's awesome
Love it! Thankyou!!!
this is awesome!
This is the best tutorial
Really nice tutorial, I wish there was a way to make a weathered effect on the edges despite the stuffing
Well if you want the edges to be a little weathered I would use a rasp or sandpaper and sand away some of the felt. If you do it right it could look like natural moth holes and rips.
I realize this comment was a year ago...I use mineral chalk paint on all types of fabric (It’s not just used for furniture or wood.)...I paint on blue 👖 jeans and I wait 24 hours before washing. ...it doesn’t come out ! You can also use a damp sponge and texture it in various places like the edges. If I was trying to create a weathered effect on the grey hat he did in the video, I would just use a matte black sparingly.
If you are looking for a thined out type of aging you you try needle felting on some wool roving over the seam line on the edge of the brim, on the top and bottom to give it a thin fraying edge. Fair warning it would probably add a fare chunk of time and effort!
Love it !!!!
This hat does look great!! But too difficult for me, not having any sewing machine
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!!
This is awesome. I wish I had measurements for children sizes.
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?
While I can appreciate the sentiment, this kind of commentary is why I always felt u comfortable in knitting shops because people kept harassing me for my phone number.
Muchas gracias por el video. Saludos desde Perú
Pretty wizard, bro!
Muchas gracias! Logre hacer algo espectacular por tu ayuda 😊😊
Love it
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.
If you use white or a lighter shade of felt you can use dyes to custom color it =) Great tutorial, thank you.
Thanks!!!
very cool hat, thank you very much
you are cool, and just earned a new sub
Nice job!!!
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 bet he runs really fast in that hat! ;-)
@@davedavy5406 😂
well done
I learnt one thing from this turtorial and I made a wisard hat smaller than a guinea pig head for my guinea pig
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.
Great job..from Jordan big hi
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!
Thanks.
Fresh
Einfach perfekt supergut danke
Hell-ooooooo, wizard ray hereh
Happy Halloween 27 days leftover Warlock houring cool hat nice
jajajaja now i really wanna be Gandalf !
Great design! #RachelMaksy which wizard hat will you make? Gandalf for your Frodo?
V HELPFUL TY SIR -taako cosplayer
nice
Thank you for doing this!
This is a great tutorial! How thick was the felt you used? I can't tell if its 1.5 mm or 3 mm
I’m not sure, but it looks like 3mm
Mooi man
Show 👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
真棒❤🎉
i did a wizard hat too, but i didnt used any sewing machine. i made it with strong paper, fabric and glue.
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??
i put on my robe and wizard hat
Why did he cut twice after the overlap?!
You only need to cut off where marked on the left to lose the excess underneath.
That is correct. I followed the tutorial and cut both as he did and it ended up being wrong and way to small for the head. Only cut one end off.
Thank you!! This is exactly the comment I was hoping to find for clarification 😊! Now I’m just worried about the previous comment on the 2 yards needed and not 1… hopefully I can make it work somehow!
how would you recommend weatherproofing a felt hat? Do you need a type of wax or is scotchgard sufficient?
Hey this is a great question that Im actually not sure about. Ive seen people rub beeswax onto fabric and then heat it with a heat gun so the wax melts and gets into the fabric. That may work on something like this.
Ill leave a link to a WikiHow I found that has 6 different ways to weatherproof a jacket, those techniques may work as well.
www.wikihow.life/Waterproof-Fabric
Machine sewing exterior seams? Heresy!
Would you be able to decorate it without it bringing down the weight on the rim of the hat?
how big do you think you could make the brim without it being too floppy?
wizardsssss
How large was the cut of fabric you got for this project?
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?
If you want the brim to be more flat Id recommend when cutting out the "doughnut" shape for the rim that instead of cutting the notch into it you can just keep it a solid "doughnut" and yes keep the hole in the middle closer to your head measurement with room for seam allowance.
Will it still hold together well with a different material than felt? im just worried it will be a little hot for the area I am in.
Only one way to find out! Tell me if it worked since I want to have a color type and using another type of material would be great
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)
You can use any fabric for this I just used felt because it looked the best for my costume. Best of luck!
what kind of loft batting did you used? low or high
Its 3 loft so thats high I believe.
You marked the 22" and then pivoted, but I'm not understanding why you chose to stop the pivot where you did.
