Children’s Santa hat made with a sewing machine

What you’ll need are red and white felt, each 50 cm by 50 cm, and some white yarn.
First, cut the red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.
You’ll attach a pom-pom at the tip, so trim a small opening there.
Cut the white felt to serve as the lower band of the hat, and sew the two pieces together with a sewing machine to form a cone.
Next, make a pom-pom with the yarn.
You can get a pom-pom maker at a 100-yen shop, so using one is recommended.
Turn the hat inside out and sew the pom-pom onto the tip of the hat, and you’re done! It’s also cute if you decorate it with beads or felt.
Let’s make it big and wear it! A Santa hat made from felt

Here’s how to make a felt hat in your own size for both kids and adults.
First, use construction paper to create a cone-shaped pattern that matches the head size.
Cut the felt to match the pattern.
If you’re using felt without an adhesive backing, apply double-sided tape along the edge.
Stick the edges together to form a cone, then use a toothpick to apply wood glue along the bottom edge of the hat.
Attach trim such as “dream cat” (decorative trim) where you applied the glue.
Add a pom-pom to the top to finish! It’s also cute to decorate with any leftover felt.
Make it big and you can wear it! An origami Santa hat

What kind of impression do you have of origami? Paper cranes? A fun pastime? In fact, origami is so popular that there’s even an organization called the Japan Origami Academic Society, and believe it or not, there’s a world championship too.
So how about making a Santa hat out of origami? Fold it small and it can become a Christmas decoration or a card accent; fold it large and you can actually wear it! There are tutorial videos, so even first-timers can feel at ease.
If you plan to wear it, using slightly thicker construction paper is recommended.
You could also make one from newspaper and decorate it with colored paper!
For adults! How to make a Santa hat

Speaking of Christmas, Santa Claus comes to mind.
I’m sure he’ll deliver wonderful presents to children all around the world again this year.
As for Santa’s red-and-white hat, it’s easier to make than you might think, so why not make a bunch and have everyone wear them on Christmas Day? If you use ordinary fabric, it’ll be too soft and the hat won’t stand up, so a sturdier felt is a good choice.
If you want an even more structured hat, make a triangle cone out of thick paper and cover it with fabric.
Using cotton for the trim adds a cozy, warm feel.
Make it with construction paper! How to make a Christmas hat

This project involves making items inspired by Christmas trees and Santa hats out of construction paper.
For the base, simply cut the paper into a half circle and shape it into a three-dimensional cone, which allows for a variety of creative variations.
If you’re making decorations, use a small size; if it’s for wearing, measure the head size, decide the diameter accordingly, and start from there—that’s the key.
It’s harder to add decorations after forming the cone, so decorate while it’s still a half circle, then shape it.
It may also be important to consider color balance as you create it.
Quick and easy by rolling construction paper! Santa hat

Here’s how to make a Santa hat easily with construction paper! First, cut the paper into a cone to fit your head size.
Since you’ll attach a pom-pom to the tip, trim a tiny bit off the very top.
Tape the edge so it forms a cone.
Next, make a pom-pom with yarn.
You can also use a pom-pom maker from the dollar store, which is recommended.
Attach the finished pom-pom to the top with wood glue or similar adhesive.
Punch two holes along the brim of the hat and thread elastic through, adjusting it to fit your head.
Finally, decorate the brim with cotton to finish! Adding origami pieces or stickers for decoration is also cute.
Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath
It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.
First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.
Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.
Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.
Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.
Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.
