Miniature Printable Witch Hat

Like my printable Princess crowns or Alice printables, this can be printed and strung on elastic to wear as a hat.
It is however, just a little tricky to put together.

I curved the top part of the hat by pulling it at an angle across the edge of my desk. I really recommend using double sided tape to put together the cone and put the top of the base into the hat, the tabs are wide enough for it. Then use a thin coat of glue to put the bottom part of the base of the hat on it, and go over the cut edges with a marker so they aren't white against the rest of the hat.Take 3 sheets of card stock. 2 Halloweenish color ways and I'll work on more designs this week.

Printable mini Mad Hatter top hat with template

This was a lot more challenging than I initially thought it would be. I wound up having to remake the template because I messed it up the first time not taking into account the thickness of the cardstock.

Score the folds carefully. Cut out all the pieces. The first part you put together is the tube shaped top of the hat. Then glue the top circle into place with the tabs glued on the inside of the tube. Put one of the brim pieces face up over the hat down to the tabs on the bottom of the tube then flip it over and glue down the tabs. Glue the second brim piece over that sandwiching the tabs between the two layers of the brim. Glue the hat band and slip it over the hat, then put the card in the hat band. The plain ones could be decorated with names on the hat bands to make place cards for a tea party, or you could attach elastic cord like the Printable Mini Princess Crowns to wear the hats. If you make several of these, kudos. One was frustrating enough for me! Click on the images for the full sized 100 ppi versions. The finished size is about 3 inches tall and about 5 inches in diameter at the base.

Last picture is one my son thought I should take. The dragon is a little toy my husband won for me at the carnival.

Look for Queen of Hearts mini crowns and tea boxes to match in the next couple of days!
