If I want a bit nicer look, I cut a piece of cotton material to fit around the foam, then glue into the hat. I've also used elastic, in wider widths. Anything just to fill up the necessary space. Sometimes the hat will have a ribbon around the inside, I've even slipped foam inside that.
This just goes to prove where there is a will there is a way...great ideas to reach your goal. I was think a band like in cowboy hats stitched inside, did not think of a foam strip. I think I want to decorate another with a colored ribbon, maybe navy or black...as I am not really very adventurous. Lol.
