fleece would work as well right?

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner May 4, 2012

Fleece should work too, though it might be heavier.

okay thankies ^^ oh and thanks for the awesome tutorial

Oooh I'll try to make one, it's so awesome

With your Vivi cosplay, how were you able to see ? XD

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner Mar 29, 2012

Ah, you see the red band around the hat? I made that stretchy and thin so I can see through that

ClaribeIle Featured By Owner Mar 29, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

OH. You even say it

I think I skipped over that sentence, thanks !

No problem, it happens

I just finished the wiring and now I need to get together my fabric. Gonna reuse my golden fleece and I'm either going to cut up an old t-shirt or buy some red fleece. The circumference of the outer circle of wire is slightly wider than my shoulders. XD My brothers are gonna be so proud of me when they see what I've made!

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner Oct 24, 2011

Cool! Good luck! I'm guessing this is for halloween

Sylanc Featured By Owner Oct 25, 2011

Yup, but I'm gonna end up making a Vivi cosplay now.

wooow,
awesome,
i need it, thanks for the tutorial !,

i want to make vivi hat but its too hard to found the materials.

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner Jan 15, 2011

What materials are you having problems with?

cadth Featured By Owner Feb 5, 2011 Student Artist

I hard to find a hot glue because I do not have it, is there any other tool that can be used?
I wanted to ask you something, are you glue the wire with the tool or tied up as usual?
are you ever make a magic wand vivi?
sorry if the english words is fall apart .
u.u

I'm gonna use that as a help to make another hat ( remember Stan form Monkey Island by any chance...? eah. Will cosplay him.). It will be a bi different, but this is really a great help, thanks a lot!

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner May 26, 2010

LOL, if you do Stan from Monkey Island, are you gonna keep flailing your arms about too?

Good luck! I'd buy a boat from you

Sel-Chan Featured By Owner May 26, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

I will ;D At least most of the time... If I do it all the time, it's gonn kill me ;D But he puts his hands on his hips from tiem to time, too, so I'm gonna do that too xDD

Thank you so much xD For te luck wishing and that you'd buy a boat ;D

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner May 26, 2010

That sounds so fun, I'd go as Guybrush Threepwood. Probably the one from Monkey Island 2, I like his big blue coat, I could hide things in it

Sel-Chan Featured By Owner May 26, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

*laughs* Yeah, frei of mine does Guybrush ^^ She can't wait for me to be Stan XDD
Although she does the new version, the "Tales of Monkey Island" one ;D

MikuruNyan Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2009

I will definitely make one of these and wear it in public. 8D But I want to figure out a way to make it move like it did in the game . . . I'll do that later. Thanks for the awesome tutorial though!

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2009

Yay! I'd offer to give you mine, it's sitting in my shed collecting dust. Maybe spiders too.

It probably wouldn't fit either. =/

MikuruNyan Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2009

You should take it out and wear it randomly. XD It's fun~

When I make this (in a really long time X_X), I want to make it a bit tighter, so it won't look so wrinkly.

HoiHoiSan Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2009

It was actually the second time I made the hat, so I was lazy the second time around

MikuruNyan Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2009

Oh. That makes sense. I can't wait to make this hat. It's so cool~ *w*

Hello all right?
My name is Kássia and live in Brazil.
I am part of a site called CosplayBrasil (www.cosplaybr.com.br)
and lately our site goes a bit scarce in tutorials to cosplay.
I would ask you for permission to translate to Portuguese
the tutorial that you produced and put this tutorial on the site for others
people can see it. I will give you the proper credits of course

Now thank

Phantasm-D-Lagosa Featured By Owner Oct 30, 2008 Student Digital Artist

Awesome! Cool tutorial; I'll have to see if I can't use it for some of my costumes...

n3y0 Featured By Owner Oct 21, 2008

Looks very nice. :3

brianxavier Featured By Owner Oct 10, 2008

Hmm.. is this the same hat concept as your Vivi costume worn at Akon 12?

Think I was cosplaying Dr Tofu that year... my one and only time to cosplay... hehe... think our friend was Dorothy from Big O.

Djake Featured By Owner Oct 8, 2008 Hobbyist General Artist

Long time, no see. Welcome back! ^_^
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm planning on making a Vampire Hunter D-style hat, and Steps 1-6 should prove immensely helpful!

Thank you

This is great

YokuboFukuzatsu Featured By Owner Oct 6, 2008

This is REALLY interesting. Have you tried using a thin foam on the rim before you put the felt/fabric on for the brim? It should cover up the wire lines.
