You can make use of protractor tool from the geometry to make these arched lengths of duct tape and poster card, poster card will be stiffed inside to make it little bit thick and tight to handle some pressure and force to avoid molding and bending.
Roll these arched lengths towards inside, take the poster card inside the duct tape length, and make the both end meet together. This will provide you a cone shape which is a main part of the whole hat skeleton. Join them with a duct tape strip or patch having same color to maintain the beauty aspects.
The cone shape should be closed from the upper side to behave like that of that, that’s why we have make this circular pattern with same poster card stuffed inside to enclose the upper head of the hat. Make it a little bit bigger to that of cone upper panel size so that we can make it twisted inside to have a durable and firm grip.

Place the shorter opening of the cone shape of hat on it and circled it along the boundary with pencil or marker. And cut that small circle form inside of the bigger circle and you will get that nice torus shape that will serve as a brim of the hat.
