2. canvas cotton (bought at my local fabric shop)
3. thread in the same color as the fabric
4. cotton strap (bought at my local fabric shop)
5. a working sewing machine (mine is very old, not sure what brand it is, but it still works and gets the job done)
feel free to use any sturdy material you want. perhaps something you already have at home like old (sturdy) clothes you don't wear anymore. just experiment and have fun with the process ;)

Could you make a video of how you make your bucket hats? I'd be very grateful for that

[@alsjka]

Thanks great tutorial. I made this today.. came out perfect (semi perfect). But awesome…. I made strap couple inches longer and added a ring in the strap. And wanted a post apocalyptic look so I aged it with espresso grounds. And added distressed white text ….

Can I add another layer if the material is too soft to make it sturdier?

[@clothesnbits]

if your sewing machine can handle an extra layer of fabric, then i'd say yes. if it's too thick the needle would probably break at some point (at least that's what happened to mine). you could test sewing a small part to see if your sewing machine can handle!

[@jayleensauceda2519]

Hey, also fabric stores sell Inter facing which you can iron to make your fabric thicker 😊

[@user-bc8cp5ye3v]

[@ruslantito2337]

Привет, отличная работа

[@johndanielgomez3628]
