viking swag
I got the studs on eBay from China. They're serious. Inch long and sharp as hell. I may hurt myself. But they look cool so it's worth it.
The acrylic paint also water proofs FYI!

Step 1First I found a boring Dickie's hat on sale at the store and ripped off that stupid label on the side.
-
Step 2Then I grabbed my Metallic paint and went to work randomly adding it all over and letting it dry.
This step can be skipped if you don't want that cool fake-hammered-by-viking-blacksmith effect. If that's the case I'm seriously judging you right now. What's wrong with you? -
Step 3After it dried the first time, I went over it with a layer of the same paint all over. Like... even the edges of the brim. kill that ugly taupe or whatever. Kill it dead. Just to add to the texture, use cris-crossing brush strokes. Let it dry. (obvious)
-
Step 4Add those scary Chinese spikes to those little holes already made on the top. Why are those there, anyway?
China does NOT care about consumer safety. Pretty sure those things could kill a person.
-
Step 5I penciled in the text first because I'm a smart lady and didn't want to mess up with paint.
Just to add to the awesome, I used viking runes to spell it. Obviously, it doesn't translate directly.
-
Step 6Go over the pencil in black paint! Try to be clean, but you can clean up mistakes later with more metallic paint. Let it dry!! (obvi...)

Step 7Wear awesomely.
