Equipment
1 Pair Of Fabric Scissors
1 Pair of Regular Scissors
1 Hot Glue Gun
Ingredients
3
Fat Quarters
Cotton Flannel Fabric
Coordinating Colors
1
piece
faux fur
3
1" split wood balls
3
light bulb shaped ornaments
Yarn
optional
decor for hat
optional
Instructions
Cut cotton flannel into triangles. Two triangles of each color are needed.
Hot glue the edges of the two of the same color fabric, gluing the right sides together, leaving the bottom open. Let set.
Cut the top of the triangle off, so that the top of the hat is open. Set aside
Cut out a beard shape from the faux fur. Fluff the fur up while cutting, so that the fur stays longer than the bottom cut.
Using hot glue, attach the beard onto the middle of the ornament.
Attach the 1" split wood ball half way over the beard.
Thread the ornament hanger through the top of the hat, pulling the hat right side out in the process.
Hot glue the hat onto the ornament, halfway over the nose close to the beard.
If wanted, use ornaments, felt, tree pieces, or berries to decorate the hat.
Instead of a beard, make braids. Braid 3 pieces of yarn. Make two braids the same size.
Hot glue the nose on first, to the center of the ornament.
Then hot glue the braids on to each side of the nose.
Thread the hanger through the hat, then hot glue the hat over the braids and nose.
