Headphone Hat

[Guest ajaX]

Winter is finally here in Massachusetts. While digging in the 'Hats' plastic tub today, I happened upon a flappy hat from last year. SantaMaker recently brought me some cheap headphones, and a few amplified speakers too (but those are for another project). Tonight turned out to be the time to merge the two into a HeadphoneHat. There is a similar project in Diana Eng's book Fashion Geek.

First thing was to gather all the stuff: Headphones, a flappy hat, a nice sharp pair of shears, a seam ripper, some thread and a needle were all this project called for.

 

You can view my photos of making the first HeadphoneHat on Flickr.

I actually have a hat similar to this, since you can buy them. But, I think the tutorial is awesome since you can decide what headphones to use (rather than the cheap ones the one I bought have). Thanks.
