Want to add a design of your choosing to a plain baseball cap? Here's an easy and relatively cheap method for doing so. I've been making a Pokemon GO trainer costume for Halloween and made this cap as part of it. If you're working on a Pokemon GO trainer costume of your own, check out this earlier post for ideas about how to get started on the costume with basic pieces from your wardrobe, and tune in next week to see how I piece mine all together.
Materials:
*Baseball cap
*Fabric paint in a color of your choice
*Waxed paper
*X-acto knife
*Painter's tape
*All purpose adhesive
Directions:
*Size the below Pokeball template (or whatever template you are using) to the size you would like it to be on your cap and print out.
*Glue the white space around the outside edge of the Pokeball shape to a sheet of waxed paper.
*Using your X-acto knife, carefully cut out the Pokeball shape, cutting through both the waxed paper and the paper. Cut off some of the excess paper around the shape as well, making sure not to cut through the glued part.
*Tape the waxed paper with the Pokeball shape cut out of it to the cap using painter's tape.
*Fill in the Pokeball shape with fabric paint.
*Once you are done painting, carefully peel off the waxed paper. Fill in any uneven areas or areas you missed with some fabric paint. Let dry, following the directions given on the paint packaging.
