Making your own beer hat is easier than you think – and wearing one makes it a lot easier to clap for the home team. Follow these steps to sport a handmade beer cap at the next big game.

You Will Need

  • Heavy-duty tape
  • A stapler
  • A baseball hat
  • Two yards of plastic tubing
  • Two tube socks (optional)
  • Two bull clips (optional)
How To Make Beer Hats: Create a tape sheet

Step 1: Create a tape sheet

Create a heavy-duty tape sheet: Overlap two 9-inch-long tape strips, sticky sides together, starting the second piece at the mid-point of the first strip. Flip the joined pieces over and continue adding new overlapping strips until the sheet is over 6 inches wide.

How To Make Beer Hats: Make a cylinder

Step 2: Make a cylinder

Cut the sheet to measure 8 ¾ inches by 6 inches. Overlap another length of tape along one of the shorter edges. Roll the sheet into a cylinder from the opposite end, and secure it closed with the exposed tape.

How To Make Beer Hats: Check the fit

Step 3: Check the fit

Check for a snug fit by inserting a beer can into the cylinder and adjust if necessary.

How To Make Beer Hats: Cut into two pieces

Step 4: Cut into two pieces

Cut the cylinder width-wise into two equal-size pieces.

How To Make Beer Hats: Fashion the bottom support

Step 5: Fashion the bottom support

Cut two 5-inch strips of tape and tape them over one open side of each cylinder, making a loop to hold the cans in place.

How To Make Beer Hats: Staple cylinders in place

Step 6: Staple cylinders in place

Attach the cylinders with loops to each side of your baseball hat with staples.

Use socks as an alternative: Double knot two tube socks together at the open ends and staple the socks to the cap with the knot at the top. Cut a four-inch horizontal slit from the top of each sock through which you will insert the cans.

How To Make Beer Hats: Insert straws

Step 7: Insert straws

Cut the plastic tubing into two equal lengths. Hold one end in place at the bottom of the holder and wrap the other end around the back of the hat and over the bill, making sure to leave enough tubing to reach your mouth. Tape the tubing in place, and repeat for the opposite side.

Stop the beer from siphoning out by pinching the tubes with bull clips.

How To Make Beer Hats: Grab some cold ones

Step 8: Grab some cold ones

Crack open a couple of cold ones, insert them in the beer holders, place the straws inside, put on your cap, and enjoy!

Did you know? The country of Belgium has the most beer variety – 400 individual brands.
