Mini Leopard Santa Hat

Hello crafters!

A few days ago you might remember when I made a post showing a leopard stocking I had recently made.  Well a few days after that, I decided to try working on a leopard santa hat!

As I had mentioned in the post, I had made the stocking to look like a real one I own.  I had actually also made this leopard santa hat inspired by an actual leopard santa hat which I also own!  I think it seems pretty obvious that I'm a fan of leopard print fabric.

Anyways, onto this mini hat!

To make it, I did basically the same as the stocking and just cut out the shapes.  First, I cut off a strip of leopard fabric & two small triangle shapes out of the red felt.  Next, I just sewed some leopard fabric onto one side one of the triangular pieces of red felt.  I did the same step to the other piece of felt.

After that, I used brown thread to sew the leopard part of the triangle pieces together.  Used red thread to sew the red felt together so the thread wouldn't be noticeable.  Then, I just used a bit of leftover leopard fabric, and just started sewing the ends to the pointy red felt.  Finally, I just kept sewing until it  became a ball-like shape.

Well that's pretty much it!  Took about 2 hours to make.  For the first time ever creating any type of mini hat out of fabric, I think it turned out pretty good!

I hope you like it!
