The DIY Leather Baseball Cap is a fun project just in time for the summer season. It allows both men and women to embrace the current fashion fad without losing an arm and a leg in the process. Spotted on several spring runway shows for such designers as Alexander Wang and DKNY, the leather hat is surprisingly easy to replicate at a fraction of the cost.
Conceived by Fabsugar, the DIY Leather Baseball Cap require minimal materials. On the list is an existing black hat, two feet of real or faux leather, paper, leather glue and a sharpie. A person simply needs to roughly trace the shape of the hat onto the piece of paper with the sharpie and use that to cut up the leather. The pieces are then glued to the hat.
