163130 on Dec 01, 2015I did a project where I made a Harry Potter Sorting Hat out of lightweight suede. Wire was used on the outer edge of the brim I used Liquid starch for the initial coating, then the second layer was mod podge and a final coat of indoor outdoor sealer. Overall it did darken the light brown suede but being that you are working with black it should be fine. I feel I could have done without the liquid starch but it was all an experiment at the time but the hat itself it hard as rock now.Helpful Reply

Janice James on Dec 02, 2015If it is felt you can use any of the store brands of the thick white glues like Tacky Glue, brush it on if you want to shape it allow it to dry about 30 mins . I actually make cowboy hats for dolls that I make out of felt this is the technique that I use. It is cheaper than mod podge.Helpful Reply
