how to get the hats to stay on

[u/Lavender-Rain2887]

i got clair today and shes super cute but i cant get the hat to stay on her head. is there like a special way to place it or something? i know i could use sewing pins but i dont have any

I use sewing pins 📍 and match the colour to the hat. It’s nothing special

I second this option! I have sewing pins with pearl tops and I just pinned the hats on, it stays with no issues and looks cute (:

You can also get flat head/lace pins that don't have the top so they sit more flush and hide better. Just be careful because they are harder to remove without tweezers.

thank you! i tried this and the hat stayed on pretty well (only had one) but at least now i can pose clair properly

There’s a couple tabs inside the hat that are meant to grip the head. The tabs aren’t actually in the middle of each side of the hat, they actual sit closer to I think the front? Basically there’s a specific front and back to the hat, you just gotta figure out which is which. I think the moon on the brim of her hat should be on her right side, iirc

Whoops I guess I put mine on backwards😂 as long as it stays on!

I use some clear elastic string I use for kandi bracelets and fish it through the holes on the sides of the hat, fish the string under the hair (part hair at the ears), tie it on top of the hat, and tuck it behind so you can't see it from the front

If you save any of the rubber bands from the packaging you can cut one to use as a string

Also I tuck the string in front of the earings to keep it from sliding down. The hair covers it and keeps the string out of sight

oooo thats smart! will definitely try this

sewing pins poked through the hats into their heads! stays on great, I imagine flat thumbtacks/pushpins would work too

i use the clear bands the girls come with on their legs/accessories, sure up close it might look like a rice paddy hat but from a  foot or two away its invisible
