Rad Dad Baseball Cap Gift Idea

Fabric Crafts· Father's Day

June is fast approaching and so is Father’s Day! Today I’ll be showing you an easy way to customize a baseball cap for your dad with a free template and cut file for you to use. This DIY cap project can be accomplished easily with an electronic die cutter, but you can definitely do it old-school style and cut the letters by hand. Whatcha waitin’ for, read on for the easy tutorial.

Supplies needed to make your own Rad Dad DIY cap:

  • Heat Transfer Vinyl
  • Baseball Cap
  • Iron
  • Clay Pot, Round Fish Bowl or Planter
  • Electronic Die-cutter (I used my Silhouette Cameo) – optional but very handy!
  • Hook Tool
  • Free Cut File – PDF or SVG
 Step 1. Trace and cut the design on a piece of heat transfer vinyl that is in a contrasting color to the baseball cap. I chose black so I opted to use a piece of white heat transfer vinyl since my dad likes simple and clean designs. But you can definitely use fun colors or even use different colors for the letters.
 If you are using an electronic die-cutter, first measure the size you want the design to be and then cut using your die-cutter. Weed the elements that aren’t needed, such as the outside of the letters and the insides of the R, A and D.
Tip: If you do not want to cut letters, you can most definitely use pre-cut iron on letters and shapes!
Step 2. Attach it on to your hat with a piece of tape to hold it down. Heat your iron to a no-steam setting and iron the letters down. Use a clay pot, round fish bowl or a round planter to hold the shape of the hat as you are ironing the design down. Trust me, this hack makes it 100 times easier!
 Step 3. Peel off the carrier sheet and your DIY cap is done!
 Step 4 (Optional). Further customize your dad’s baseball cap by adding the date he became a dad. In my case, that was when I was born as I’m the eldest child in the family. The template and cut file you can download here does not include the date, but its easy to add that in with a basic font. 🙂
Create a simple but thoughtful gift for dad with your handmade baseball cap especially for him! Have you thought of plans for Father’s Day?
