  • Pom pom ribbon in red and white plus ivory 
  • woven burlap ribbon
  • Mason jar with lid
  • styrofoam cone
  • Sparkle pom pom

  • Hot glue the jar lid to the bottom of the cone.
  • Add pom pom fringe to the bottom of the felt.
  • Attach another row of pom pom fringe as well as the woven ribbon around the lid.
  • Cut out ear shapes from the tan felt. Fold them and attach them to either side of the cone with hot glue.

    Glue on a festive button to the hat as a "pin" and a pom pom to the tip of the hat.
