Children’s Santa hat made with a sewing machine

How to Make a Santa Hat (For Kids) — A Sewing Machine Just Right for Parenting / A Sewing Machine Even Better for Parenting

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.

Turn it inside out and insert a foam sheet.

Pay attention to the ear orientation and sew them onto the cone-shaped felt.

Turn the hat inside out, then use a glue gun to attach ornaments and a bell, and you’re done!

Easy: Making Christmas Hats with Construction Paper for Infants to Preschoolers

There are moments when you think at first glance, “Ah, this color would really suit this child.” But store-bought hats don’t always come in many colors.

In that case, why not make a Christmas hat out of colored construction paper in the perfect shade? The steps are simple, so even those who aren’t used to crafts can make it with confidence.

First, shape the construction paper into a cone.

Measure the head size to get a perfect fit.

Attach a pom-pom to the tip and add an elastic cord, and you’re done.

You can also line the part that touches the head with a soft fabric.

Let’s make it big and wear it! A Santa hat made from felt

[Christmas Dollar-Store DIY] Santa Hat Made with 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.
