These cute little ornament hats are great perfect for sewing with your kids or grandkids. Easy, quick, and you can even split the work by letting them cut the fringes, and others can sew the sides, or tie little bows. The littlest can be in charge of selecting the felt pieces to work with - it's always fun to search through the felt scrap basket!

Fold the long edge on the opposite side of the fringes towards the OUTER side, twice. Meaning you'll have the right side up when folding:
