Hello there, fellow Black Hatter,
Does anyone have experience in getting crayon marks off a hat, and what do you think can be done?
Did you try steaming it?
Removing crayon from fabric is done by putting a clean cloth over the crayon mark and rubbing a very warm iron over it. The crayon should melt onto the cloth. I’m not sure why it wouldn’t melt onto the hat as well, though so maybe check with a dry cleaners for input.
Try ironing the underside, with the hat upside down and the crayon on the cloth. You could also try a stiff brush, and even some gentle sandpapering could work. These last two ideas I have used with success, by the way.
All I can say, HaLeivi, is- Uh oh.
Really not sure you”ll have success with any of the suggestions you got, but I guess it can’t hurt to try.
Sorry to admit it but your post gave me my CR smile of the day…

Color it with black crayon
If you have a plush felt hat, maybe try something abrasive, like sandpaper to rub it off (and keep the felt plush). An iron will give it a flat shine.
Color the rest of your hat
Scrape it with a razor or brush it with a stiff wire brush. Be gentle with the brush because you don’t want to melt the wax. If you damage the surface of the felt you can renew it with sandpaper.
