Self-adhesive foam for hats consists of four grey foam strips with a yellow backing sheet, which you stick inside a hat that is too large. This makes the brim of a top hat, cowboy hat, or gangster hat fit your head more closely as part of your costume. The strips are intended for women and men who are wearing a hat that is just a little too big at a theme party or costume party.
The four foam strips in a row
- You get four self-adhesive foam strips in one package.
- The strips are made of 100% foam.
- Each strip is grey and has a yellow protective film over the adhesive layer on one side.
- You stick a strip to the inside of the hat along the brim, so that the circumference becomes smaller.
- The strips come in a clear bag with the application steps printed on it.
How to make a hat brim smaller with foam
You make a hat that is too large smaller by sticking a foam strip along the inner brim, which reduces the circumference. Costume hats are often made in one standard size, while people's head circumferences vary considerably. A simple hat reducer like this fills that gap without having to modify the hat itself.
- Take one foam strip out of the package.
- Peel the yellow protective film off the adhesive.
- Press the strip with the adhesive inside the hat against the brim.
If the hat is still loose after that, you have enough with four strips to add a second strip or adjust another hat.
Which hat and outfit do you adjust with this foam for a theme party?
Self-adhesive foam is useful for hats with an inner brim, such as a black top hat with a red circus ringmaster costume and bow tie. A brown cowboy hat goes with a denim shirt and a red bandana for a western party. For a mafia party, you combine a white gangster hat with a pinstripe suit and a white tie. A brown top hat with a feather is completed with a lace blouse and a wide belt in steampunk style.
Order self-adhesive foam for hats and your party hat will fit more snugly around your head at the next theme party.
