Steps
Ornament Hat – Decide between 2 Options
Print out pages 13 and 14 in the PDF file of the Homemade Holidays Pattern Bundle. One hat comes with a tie to resemble a baby hat ornament, the other one is a mini diy beanie. Both so cute!
Ornament Hat Tutorial for Version A – Baby Hat Ornament
Using the version A template, cut one piece from felt. That’s all you need!
Ornament Hat Step 1 – Make Fringed Top
Make the fringed top: using a disappearing ink marker, trace the line from the template that will become your cutting guide. Then cut fringes – these will become the hat top.
Ornament Hat Step 2 – The Sewing Step
Fold in half and stitch the sides together.
Ornament Hat Step 3
Turn right side out.
Ornament Hat Step 4
Tie a nice little bow.
Ornament Hat Step 5
Use an approximately 8-10″ long ribbon. Tie off the top part where the fringes begin, and make a loop from the remaining ribbon to hang.
Done!
Ornament Hat Version B – Step 1
Using the version B template, cut one piece from felt. Like before, trace the line from the template and cut fringes along one long edge.
Ornament Hat Version B – Step 2
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:
Ornament Hat Version B – Step 3
Place right side up (you’ll sew the folds), then fold in half and sew the sides together.
Tie off – Step 4
Turn right side out. Then use an approximately 8-10″ long ribbon to tie off the top part where the fringes begin, and make a loop from the remaining ribbon to hang.
Done! Which of the two do you prefer? The baby hat ornament or the mini diy beanie ornament?
