Handmade Christmas hats! A collection of cute DIY ideas

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Many of you are probably thinking, “I want to make something with my child for the Christmas party.” So here, we’re sharing ideas for handmade Christmas hats using familiar materials like construction paper, origami paper, and felt.

We’ve gathered fun ideas to make Christmas even more exciting, such as a cone hat sparkling with snowflakes, a Rapunzel-style Santa hat, and a reindeer hat made from balloons.

You can match them as a parent-child pair, use them for performances—there are lots of ways to enjoy them.

Put on a hat made with love and make your Christmas an even more special day!

Mickey-style Santa hat

https://www.tiktok.com/@azu.diy/video/7306455902322756865

Introducing a super cute hat with big Mickey-style ears.

Wearing this hat might make you the star of your Christmas party! Cut two triangles from red felt, and for the ears, cut four brown felt circles.

Sew them together in pairs, insert sponge sheets to give the ears volume, and shape them.

Sponge sheets come in different levels of firmness and thickness, so choose what you like.

Once you attach the ears with the sponge sheets to the red triangular felt hat, it’s complete.

Adding bells or ribbons is also recommended for a festive touch.

Rapunzel-style Santa hat

https://www.tiktok.com/@azu.diy/video/7306026523226688770

It’s very popular with children, and you often see them playing Rapunzel make-believe.

For this Rapunzel Santa hat, sew together the pieces of cut felt, turn it inside out, and stitch on a pom-pom.

The key to capturing Rapunzel’s signature long hair is to braid nine strands of yarn and attach the braid to the hat.

It instantly gives off a Rapunzel vibe that kids will love.

Finish by decorating with feather boas, artificial flowers, and ornaments! Making matching hats in different colors as a parent-child set could be adorable, too!

Santa hat made with crochet

How to Crochet an Adult Santa Hat [Crochet] Christmas ★ Harenatsu

Santa hat made with crochet

Introducing how to crochet a handmade Santa hat! Prepare two skeins of red and white acrylic yarn, a size 7 crochet hook (Japanese size), and fluffy yarn for the pom-pom.

First, start crocheting with the red yarn.

Use half double crochet (hdc) stitches throughout.

Shape it like a hat by increasing stitches evenly as the rounds progress.

Around the 30th round, switch to the white yarn.

Continue with the same stitch count in white up to about the 35th round.

Weave in the yarn ends to finish the hat body.

Next, make the pom-pom with the fluffy yarn.

Leave a short tail, then wrap the yarn around your hand 50 times.

Cut the yarn, tie the center tightly, and cut both loops.

Trim it into a round shape and sew it onto the hat to finish!

Santa hat made with balloons

Balloon Art: How to Make a Santa Claus Hat (Balloon Twisting: Santa Claus Hat)

Santa hat made with balloons

We’d like to introduce a Santa hat featuring a pom-pom made from a white balloon at the very top.

Let’s make the hat to fit the size of your head.

For the triangular part of the hat, the key is to quickly shape it while evenly adjusting the air so it forms a nice triangle.

Once you’ve aligned the triangular sections so they’re the same length, attach the inflated white balloon pom-pom to finish! It could be fun to make color variations using yellow or green balloons, too.

It’s sure to be a big hit at a Christmas party!

Three-dimensional Santa hat

How to Make Santa Claus and Reindeer Hats [Christmas Craft]

Three-dimensional Santa hat

It’s such a cute, rounded hat that looks perfect for recitals and other events.

Prepare rectangular red and white construction paper, paste the white paper onto the red, then fold the sheet in half—but be careful not to fold the area below the white paper so you keep the hat’s rounded shape.

Fold both sides into six equal sections, punch holes with a craft punch, and cut along the vertical fold lines.

The key step is threading yarn pom-poms through the holes from the top.

Secure the pom-poms with tape so they don’t slip out, shape everything nicely, and you’re done! You can probably make rabbits, bears, and other designs using the same method.

Hat with adjustable chin strap

[Christmas Craft] Tree Hat

Hat with adjustable chin strap

Here’s a handy idea for a hat with an adjustable chin strap.

First, use construction paper or similar materials to make a Christmas-themed hat.

A classic Santa Claus–colored hat works, or you could model it after a Christmas tree for a cute finish.

Once it’s done, attach the strings.

At this point, thread the string through a straw cut to about 3 cm before attaching it; by sliding the straw, you can adjust the length of the string.
