Steampunk hats are an important part of Steampunk culture. They are frequently worn and often contain one of the most important Steampunk accessories, Steampunk goggles. So, instead of buying a Steampunk hat, why not try to make one yourself?

Making a DIY Steampunk hat allows you to make sure that your hat is perfect and just how you want it, and it means that your style can be unique. So here is how to make your own Steampunk hat:

First of all you need to buy a plain hat, such as a top hat, bowler hat, or military hat etc. Here is an option:

  • EAN: 4260414761041
  • Manufacturer: Schramm Onlinehandel.

Next, and last of all, you need to accessorise and/or decorate your hat. You can do this with many materials, such as cogs, feathers, and/or goggles. You can attach them to the hat in whatever way seems best to you; glue, sewing, or any other way that springs to mind. Here are some accessories that you can add to your Steampunk hat:

These are a basic pair of Steampunk goggles that will make a wonderful addition to your DIY Steampunk hat. They are copper in colour and have smokey coloured lenses. Just simply wrap them around your top hat and the elastics will hold in place. If you want to make sure that they do stay in place, a couple of stitches around the band might be a good idea.
