I would look for & contact a local hatmaker so you do not ruin them. They use special steamers so they are not too wet they will also have blocking forms if they are needed. You should invest in hat boxes well worth the $. They really don't cost much. we have great hatmaker here in Scottsdale AZ she showed my daughter all around shop how she does things Fascinating person/place. here example of hat boxes https://www.containerstore.com/s/closet/intimates-and-accessory-storage/interdesign-clarity-hat-boxes/12d?productId=10037208 even plain old sturdy thick cardboard box would work
Coffee can/container. Upside down planter/vase. Slip the hat over the container and moisten it with a light spray of water.
Hello. Mist some moisture and reform on a child's ( squishy) ball or balloon thats an appropriate size.
