I made this hat out of ductape and wire. I used a piece of Styrofoam to make the shape while sculpting the ducttaoe and then dug the Styrofoam out of the hat. Wire was used to enforce the structure and shape of the hat and to make the brim shapable. Also, it was used as the main structure for the ducttape feathers. I wore this hat (along with an entire ducttape dress) to prom and have worn it at various events since.
