Description
Welcome Ladies and GentlemanNow when I was still making my Tuxedo Mask Cosplay from Sailormoon I was only days away from the convention and I still had not made my hat yet. My hat was of course a gentleman's top hat which is very long, we are talking Abraham Lincoln size. So I searched DA and all I could find were tutorials on how to make female Mini Top hats, and cardboard ones. I eventually worked out how to make a top hat and recorded the steps I was following. Thus I have created this tutorial for you today on how to create your very own Gentleman Top Hat.
Goodbye now

This is a cool hat. I just made a top hat out of cardboard and painted it with acrylic, It looks pretty ghetto compared to yours. Next time I'll probably use techniques from your tutorial since it looks more professional and easier.

Is it possible to just use super glue? I really don't see the point in buying a hot glue gun just to make a top hat, nor do I know anybody who has one

A hot glue gun is an item for life...

Pfft :'3
So it's absolutely necessary to have one? Can't use some super glue at all?
