Craft the Ultimate College Tailgating Cowboy Hat with Fabric Glue

Nothing says game day quite like bold team spirit, but if you are ready to trade in your basic baseball cap for something with a bit more swagger, it is time to go western. A custom collegiate cowboy hat is the ultimate tailgate statement piece, blending classic school pride with a fun vibe. Crafting your own felt game-day hat is surprisingly simple. With just a vibrant blank hat, a patch from your alma mater, and a little bit of Aleene’s adhesive you can create a standout accessory that will have the entire student section asking where you bought it.

2. Let Dry & Wear!

Let the hat sit undisturbed for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure for a firm game-day hold. Wear with pride!
