How To Transfer A Hat Burning Design

We get a lot of questions about how to transfer our designs to a hat. In the video below, there are three examples of transferring a design for wood burning. The techniques are applicable to transferring a hat burning design.

Before you watch the video, there are a few tips that will help you make a successful transfer:

1. Obviously, a hat is made of softer material than wood. It's best to practice on a piece of similar material as the hat. Most craft stores carry square pieces of felt that is perfect as your practice material.  

2. Use a firm surface where you lay the hat.

3. If you are transferring the design to the hat crown, use some like a ball to create a firm surface inside the hat crown.

RESIZING NOTE: In the video resizing is done using Microsoft Word. You can resize our designs using Canva, Inkscape, Affinity Designer, CorelDraw, and many other graphic design software. We design in Inkscape, but our designs are compatible with other free or paid software.

Any of the methods shown in the video will work in transferring our hat burning designs to a hat. We prefer to use carbon paper. As you'll learn in the video, you can use graphite paper, but you'll have to be more careful because it smudges easier.
