Tools and materials:
- Baseball cap (to trace)
- Paper
- Pen
- Fabric
- Stable, flexible plastic
- Velcro closure
- Fabric chalk
- Measuring tape
- Sewing machine
Trace
To begin this easy DIY visor project, I traced the bill of a baseball cap onto a piece of paper.
Trace and cut
Next, I traced the shape of the visor onto a piece of plastic, and cut it out.
Then, I traced around the cut-out plastic shape onto my folded fabric and cut around it, leaving a ½-inch seam allowance.
Sew
I sewed the two pieces of fabric together around the bottom curve, leaving the top curve open.
Measure
Next, I measured the circumference of my head and added 1½ inches to that number.
Measure, mark, and cut
I measured out a strip of fabric the same length as my head measurement, and 3½ inches wide, and cut it out.
Fold and sew
Then I folded the strip in half lengthwise and sewed down the long edge and one short edge.
Insert the plastic
I turned the curved fabric right side out, so the seams were hidden inside. Then I inserted the curved plastic shape between the two curved fabric layers.
Turn and iron
Next, I turned the long strip of fabric right side out and ironed it flat.
Attach velcro
On either end of the strip of fabric, I attached the appropriate pieces of velcro by sewing down each piece of velcro around the edges.
Sew
Then, I sewed the curved piece to the center of the strip. And my basic DIY visor was complete!
I love how this project turned out. This visor is so cute and fun. Let me know if you make a DIY visor of your own. I’d love to see the results.
