With any one of these DIY hats on, you've got a good chance at standing out in a crowd. They may not comply with the fashion world's rules of what's "chic," but they will be unique to your personality -- bravery is half the battle when it comes to fashion statements.
DIY hats are interesting because they are truly one of a kind. Take customizable baseball caps, for instance: there are a million hats out there bearing team logos, but how many have personal messages drawn on? You could conceivably create your own graphic hat by adorning the blank canvas with a witty or shocking statement.
Other DIY hat ideas include using tin foil to create sci-fi style hats that almost look like they're meant to attract lightning bolts.
