ASSEMBLING HATS:
Once the hats are cut (don’t forget to notch the tip), you’ll gently curl them over to shape into a hat. Add a little glue along one of the straight edges and hold tight for a minute to secure. I found holding scissors or a pen inside against the seam and rubbing another pen or crochet hook along the outside helped seal the glue well.
ADDING THE TIES:
To add ties, I used a 1/4″ punch to place holes on opposite sides of the hat, with the seam at the back. A single strand of yarn, string or ribbon can be threaded through both sides. I used approximately 16″ for my Fable animals.
I placed my hat ties behind Brie Mouse’s ears and tied them under her chin. I found they were better tied behind Marley Dog’s head because of his ear shape (shown below on the right).
ATTACHING THE TAGS:
The tags can be attached by inserting your crochet hook into any stitch, yarn over with yarn or ribbon and pull through. Tag can be attached and tied with a bow.
These party hats will pair perfectly with my FREE Fable Collection sleeping bag pattern. Get ready for all the birthday slumber parties! The Marley Dog and Tilly Cat patterns are also part of the Fable Collection and can be found on my website and on Etsy. They both come with a super cozy robe and sleep mask!
I hope these little printables add some extra magic to your handmade birthday gifts!
Happy making!
