I wonder when the word “sheerness” became part of our everyday vocabulary.
It somehow has the ring of a true style pro.
A Santa hat full of that airy sheerness is lovely, isn’t it? Instead of the usual construction paper, swap in a soft plastic sheet or a colored file folder.
They’re sturdier than paper, so make sure to secure the joins firmly with double-sided or heavy-duty tape.
Add faux fur to the pom-pom at the tip and along the brim to finish.
If you can rig it so tiny bulbs light up the sheer sections, that would be perfect.
Adjust the elastic strap length by working backward from the wearer’s face size.
stylish and cute Santa hat

Cute and stylish with a swaying pom-pom! Here’s how to make a handmade Santa hat.
No sewing needed, so it’s easy! First, cut a strip of white fabric.
Use the leftover scraps to cover a foam ball, attaching them with a hot glue gun.
Glue a white string or similar to the finished ball.
Next, make the red hat, cutting it to fit the size of your head.
Attach the white fabric you cut at the beginning to the inside of the hat.
Fold the white part over, glue on some elastic, and you’re done! The pom-pom on top bounces around like a snowball and looks adorable.
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.
How to make a Mickey-style Santa hat

Here’s how to make a cute Mickey-like Santa hat that makes a sound.
First, cut red felt into a cone to fit the size of the head.
Since you’ll attach a pom-pom at the top, trim a small bit off the tip.
Next, stack two felt circles and sew around them, leaving a small opening.
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!
Recommended for infants and toddlers! Easy construction paper Christmas hat

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

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!
