Barbie One Piece No-Sew Folded Brim Hat

As summer is beginning to heat up Barbie says let's take a trip to the lake... And because she is all about the accessories, how about making an adorable Folded Brim Felt Hat from one piece of fabric, and it's a no-sew project. Nice and easy, we like that kind of craft here at PIM:@) This hat is a hybrid and depending upon shaping, sort of looks like a cowboy hat, sort of a fedora, sort of nautical, sort of like a visor... But no matter what we call it, it's super cute! 

A word about the top of the hat, it's open, this is why it has a few different looks.

The pattern:

✂What I did:

1. Cut one from felt (I used the thin felt that comes in a roll at Dollar Tree for the red hat).
2. Bring the back two points together, overlap a little and either sew or hot glue the overlap together. I used Aleene's Tacky Glue.
3. Fold brim up about 1/4" all the way around the sides of hat too. Press with your fingers to create a little crease. You may choose to add glue to each side of the brim near the back to help hold the shape.
4. Shape hat, the very top will be open.
5. Add any desired embellishments, buttons, grommets, beads, rhinestones, etc.

The back of the hat: Here are three options. I simply extended the points for a bird tail look on the pink one and added some 1/4" gingham around the top of the white one. Of the three, the white felt was the thickest, I did like working with that one best. I goofed up and shouldn't have glued the ribbon all the way to the ends before I glued the sides together... Should have left the under side unglued so the ribbon would lay on top... Please learn from my mistake:@)
