How to Make a DIY Snowman Hat – 6 Easy Steps
STEP 1:
Use the screen lid, wire basket, and a small bowl as a template to make the felt pieces needed to cover the brim of the hat. Use chalk or a chalk pen to trace circles onto the felt.



STEP 2:
Use the wire basket as a template to trace and cut the felt pieces needed to cover the top and side of the hat.

STEP 3:
Hot glue the wire basket to the center of the screen.

Note: If you’re making This hat for a Snowman Kit, I recommend Cutting a hole in the underside or Adding floral foam with dowels so the hat can be anchored to a snowman in the yard.
