-Scissors or a craft knife
-A baseball cap that fits you well
-Tape
Instructions:
1. Print out the baseball cap template onto a full sheet of 8.5″x11″ heavy cardstock paper.
2. Cut out the template along the outer line with scissors or a craft knife.
3. Place the template onto a Baseball Cap that fits you well and tape it in place.
4. Cut out the inner part of the template along the dotted line with scissors or a craft knife, being careful not to cut into the baseball cap itself.
Cutting Out the Cap Shape
To begin, you will need to cut out the basic cap shape from your paper. If you are using a printable template simply cut out the template along the outer black line. If you are drawing your own template, use a pencil and ruler to draw a symmetrical five-sided figure on your paper, then cut it out with scissors.
Cutting Out the Visor
Lay the baseball cap template flat on the table. Use a pencil to trace around the outside edge of the visor onto a piece of cardstock.
Cut out the visor shape from the cardstock. The cut lines will be your guideline for cutting out the corresponding piece from the fabric.
With right sides together, lay the cardstock visor template on top of the fabric. Trace around the template with a pencil, then cut out the fabric along the lines.
Assembling the Cap
Now that you have all the pieces cut out, it’s time to assemble the baseball cap Begin by folding the bill in half lengthwise. Then, take the side piece and place it on top of the bill, aligning the bottom edge of the side piece with the center fold line of the bill. Next, take the other side piece and place it on top of the first side piece, aligning all the edges. Now take the top piece and place it on top of the bill and sides, aligning all the edges. Lastly, take the back piece and place it on top of everything, also aligning all the edges.
Adding the Band
After you’ve cut out your paper Baseball Cap template, it’s time to add the band. The band is the part of the hat that goes around your head. It usually has an adjustable strap in the back so that you can make it tighter or looser.
To make the band, start by cutting a strip of paper that is about 2 inches wide and 18 inches long. You can make it longer or shorter depending on how big your head is. Once you have your strip of paper, fold it in half lengthwise and glue or tape the two ends together.
Now take your band and fit it onto your paper baseball cap template. Make sure that the front of the band is even with the front of the hat template and that the back of the band lines up with the back of the hat template. Once you have it in place, glue or tape it down.
Now you’re ready to move on to adding the brim to your paper baseball cap template!
Finishing Touches
To make the brim of your Baseball Cap cut a 1/2″ (1.3 cm) wide strip of paper that is long enough to go around the entire circumference of the hat. Glue or tape this strip of paper to the bottom edge of the brim. Make sure that the strip is centered so that the brim will be even all the way around. If you want, you can decorate the brim with stickers or other embellishments.
Tips and Tricks
Whether you’re a first time sewer or an experienced seamstress, everyone can benefit from a few tips and tricks when it comes to cutting out a paper baseball cap template. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
-Make sure the grainline of your fabric is parallel to the brim of the hat. This will ensure that your hat keeps its shape and doesn’t warp over time.
-Be precise when cutting out your pattern pieces. Any inaccuracies will be magnified when the hat is complete.
-Try using a rotary cutter for clean, straight lines. This is especially helpful if you’re working with larger pieces of fabric.
-Use sharp scissors when cutting out smaller pieces or detailed areas. dull scissors can cause fabric to fray or tear.
