So, I got this idea stuck in my head about the ‘harris 2024 hat’. Saw something about it, maybe online, maybe a picture someone shared, don’t quite remember. Anyway, I thought, okay, I kinda want one. Not really for any big reason, more like a piece of memorabilia, you know? Something to mark the time.
First thing, I went looking online. Figured it’d be easy, right? Just search and buy. Well, that turned out to be a bit of a dead end, at least for the specific look I had in my mind. Official places seemed out or didn’t ship quick, or just didn’t have that exact one. Checked a few fan sites, marketplace things, nada. Kinda annoying, honestly.
After hitting a wall trying to just buy the thing, I thought, “Okay, plan B”. Maybe I could just make something similar myself. How hard could it be? It’s just a hat with some text or a logo on it.
Making My Own Version
So, I decided to go the DIY route. Here’s kinda how it went down:
- Get a plain hat: First step was easy. Just grabbed a simple baseball cap in a color I liked. Had one lying around, actually.
- Find the design: Went back online, but this time just looking for the specific text or logo associated with ‘harris 2024’. Found a decent enough image I could use. Nothing super fancy.
- Figure out how to put it on: This was the tricky part. Embroidery? Too much work, didn’t have the gear. Paint? Messy. I settled on using iron-on transfer paper. Seemed like the quickest, cheapest way to get it done.
- Print and transfer: Bought the transfer paper. Had to remember to mirror the image before printing – almost forgot that bit! Printing went okay. Then came the ironing. You gotta get the heat right, the pressure right, peel it off carefully… It took a bit of patience. The first corner I tried didn’t stick perfectly, had to give it another blast with the iron.
Finally, after a bit of fiddling, I got the design transferred onto the hat. Does it look like a super professional, store-bought hat? Nah, not really. You can tell it’s homemade if you look closely. But you know what? It’s done. It’s my own take on the ‘harris 2024 hat’.
It was a bit more effort than I first expected, just for a hat. But sometimes you just follow through on these little projects. Felt good to actually make it instead of just buying. Anyway, that was my little adventure with the harris 2024 hat. Got the thing I wanted, sorta, and learned that iron-on transfers need a bit of practice.
