Hello!
So as it is getting closer and closer to christmas (i know i said the 'C' word) i thought that i would do some little DIY christmas tree decorations!
I should hopefully doing a couple more of these before Christmas is over so i would really welcome your suggestions!!
This particular DIY is super easy and you don't need many things to make it!
Here is most of what you'll need. You'll obviously need scissors and a needle of your choose aswell! However i did forget to mention some fabric glue (optional).
To start off you will need to put your templates onto the desired fabric and cut around them to make the shapes. To ensure that the templates do not move around you will need to pin them to the fabric below, (see picture above at the top)
When you have finished cutting all of the different parts out, they should look something like this (see picture above at the bottom)
When you have finished this you are going to want to sew around the outside of your main body shape (see picture above at the top) of the hat with a Chain Stitch , but not all of the way round!
Leave the bottom open so that you can pop all of the cotton wool inside it to give it a bit more bulk and definition (see picture above at the bottom). After it has been completely stuffed you should begin to sew up the bottom of the hat with the same technique of stitching.
Your hat should look something like this!
Now, you can either stitch on the furry material which we make using the template earlier OR if you prefer you can glue on some of the cotton wool to the bottom and the top of the hat to create a different kind of look!
As you can see i went for the cotton wool option but both look really nice!
I then decided to stitch a small amount of ribbon to the top of the hat so that it will hang nicely off the christmas tree when i am ready!

I hope you liked this little DIY post! I am sure to be doing more of these in the further if you'd like me to!
Please leave any recommendations or themes of felt decorations you'd like to see on my blog, in the comments section, and i will definitely try and make a 'How To' for you!
Thanks for reading!
