Here is a link to the kind of material that I used: <a href="http://www.michaels.com/white-styrofoam-blocks/fl1372,default,pd.html?cgid=products-floral-accessories-styrofoam&start=17" target="blank" rel="nofollow">Styrofoam</a> I have not completed a hat from scratch yet, but I did use the block pictured above to re-block an old hat that I had made a LONG time ago. It did an excellent job, and held up well. I still need to make a flange to shape the brim for my new hat. I have this project sitting in my workshop and keep thinking I need to finish it, but other things keep distracting me. I have seen the video you posted before. Unfortunately, I didn't have a hat with a crown shape like I wanted to make, so I had to shape my block from scratch. Good Luck with your hat! I'd love to see how it turns out when you are finished.

Thank you for all of this information. Im also going to make my own felt hat from zero starting with creating a hat mold. So I guess your article will be extremely helpful. What kind of styrofoam did you use (is this the one made of small balls)? Did you manage to finish your hat? Perhaps this video will interest you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZwC1D5KVLY Hi.

Thanks for this. Keeping uniformity is a major issue in nice handwriting so is holding the pen pressure which would make a difference in shading. Thanks for this.
