How to Make a Witch Hat for a Doll

Introduction In this tutorial, I will guide you through the process of creating a witch hat for a doll. Whether you are new to crafting or an experienced DIY enthusiast, making a witch hat can be a fun and creative project. This step-by-step guide will provide you with clear instructions and tips to make a witch hat that looks adorable on your doll.

Supplies Needed Before we start, let's gather all the supplies you will need:

• Black felt
• Pattern (cardboard circles)
• White pencil
• Sharp scissors
• Glue gun with low heat setting
• Embroidery floss or thread
• Optional: glitter and crystals for decoration

Step 1: Cutting the Felt To begin, place the pattern (cardboard circles) on the black felt and trace two circles in different sizes. Cut out the circles using sharp scissors for a clean cut. If you are using your own supplies, trace a 3-inch and a 2.5-inch circle. Repeat this process for the sparkly black felt if you are making two hats.

Step 2: Creating the Cone Fold one of the larger circles in half and then in half again to create an X in the middle. Cut out one of the pie-shaped pieces formed by the folds. Place the remaining piece on top of the felt and trace it. Cut out this smaller piece from the felt. Fold the larger circle into a cone shape by overlapping the edges. Use a glue gun to secure the outer flap to create the cone.

Step 3: Attaching the Cone to the Base Take the smaller circle of sparkly felt and cut an X in the center. Cut notches in each of the four corners, creating a star-like shape. Apply glue along the base of the cone and place it in the center of the smaller circle. Press it down firmly and glue the inside flaps of the felt to the inside of the cone for added stability. Allow the glue to set before proceeding.

Step 4: Decorating the Top of the Hat For a unique touch, you can create a twisted thread design to add to the top of the hat. Take two pieces of embroidery floss, fold them in half, and tie a knot at the top. Separate the threads into two groups, one on the left and one on the right. Twist each group to the left and then twist both groups together to the right. Secure the bottom with a small dab of glue and trim any excess thread. Attach the twisted thread design to the back of the hat using glue.
