Today I’m going to be showing you how to make a Tricorn Hat Badge. The Tricorn Hat was a very popular hat in the 18th Century. The turned-up portions of the brim formed gutters that directed rainwater away from the wearer’s face, depositing most of it over his shoulders. Well, in this post I’m going to show you had to make this style Hat into a brooch that you can wear. Because we’ll use oven-hardening polymer clay you’ll need a little help from an adult.

So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started with this crafting fun.

And, what better way to honor Abraham Lincoln than to make his top hat. So, grab the materials needed and let’s get started.
