Do you cut it by hand or mechanically? 
Very cool.

I can't speak for @YinTx or @spacedog if you were asking them . But what I have done here is cut with a swivel knife  except for the shape of the coaster which is also cut by hand ,

just a different knife .

And if you were asking me, I cut with a swivel knife, then a modified screwdriver that I made into a lifter to really get that 3D effect.

Back trying to work out  some shading  and practice  matting  , some days matting is fair and other days it looks like a newly disc field ...........

When making wide hat bands, over 3/4 inch wide or so, cut the strap with a modest curve to it. It will sit tighter to the crown then
