Total Time15 minutes
Author: Amy Lanham
Cost: 20

Equipment

  • 1 Pair Of Fabric Scissors
  • 1 Pair of Regular Scissors
  • 1 Hot Glue Gun

Supplies

  • 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.
