DIY hat block using expanding foam #1

If you've enjoyed this video please like & subscribe 👍🔔, this really helps me grow and reach a larger audience ❤️ I post new videos or do a live stream from my studio every week ✨✨✨ In this video I’m experimenting with polyurethane foam (PU foam/expanding foam) to make a DIY hat block. Whilst I would always recommend buying a wooden hat block directly from a hat block maker, not everyone has the money to afford this when just starting out. → Follow me ← Instagram: @byilonamillinery Website: https://www.byilona.co.uk → Tools & Materials ← Mould to be copied Gaffer/duct tape Scissors Newspaper A release agent (I used Vaseline) Old rag Clingfilm (or not...?)
