Preparation
In order to stiffen a baseball cap, you will need the following supplies: a baseball cap, a bowl, a brush, and fabric stiffener. The fabric stiffener can be found at most craft stores. Follow the instructions on the fabric stiffener bottle to mix the solution.
Pre-wash the baseball cap if it is new
If the baseball cap is new, it likely has starch on it from the manufacturing process. This will make the fabric harder to stiffen. To remove the starch, wash the baseball cap in a washing machine using the normal cycle with hot water. Add a cup of vinegar to the load to help remove any residue and make sure the fabric is thoroughly rinsed.
Shape the bill of the cap
If you have a baseball cap that’s starting to look a little bit worn, you can easily give it new life by shaping the bill. This will make your cap look like it’s brand new. All you need is a little bit of time and patience.
Start by wetting the bill of the cap with some warm water. You can use a spray bottle or just soak it in a bowl. Then, put the cap on your head and shape the bill into the desired shape. Use your fingers to help mold it into place. Once you’re happy with the shape, allow the cap to dry completely.
Stiffening the Bill
A baseball cap is a type of soft cap with a rounded peak and a stiff bill projecting in front. The front of the cap typically contains designs or logos of sports teams (namely baseball teams) or logos of other organizations. There are several ways to stiffen the bill on a baseball cap.
Cover the bill with fabric stiffener
There are a few methods you can use to stiffen the bill of a baseball cap, but one of the simplest is to cover it with fabric stiffener. This can be done by either brushing or spraying the fabric stiffener onto the bill, and then letting it dry. You may need to apply multiple coats in order to get the desired stiffness. Once the fabric stiffener has dried, you can then shape the bill into whatever shape you desire.
Let the fabric stiffener dry
Once you’ve applied the fabric stiffener to your baseball cap, it’s important to let it dry completely before wearing or using it. Fabric stiffener can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or two to dry completely, depending on how thickly you applied it and the conditions in your home. You can speed up the drying process by placing the baseball cap in a warm, dry place, such as on top of a radiator or near an open window.
