Make your little one feel super special with this birthday hat! Embellished with the how old they are turning and flowing tule is sure to make this feel just like a princess. If the birthday girl or boy would rather feel like a king or queen then for sure make a DIY Birthday Crown .
This princess hat would also make the perfect costume. Just add a new sew tutu for a super cute princess.
How to make a birthday hat
This birthday hat can go together quickly and be embellished any way you like to make it special for your child. Some hand stitched details would also be lovely!
I don’t have a birthday hat template but it really is an easy shape. Cut the below shape out of a sheet of felt, making it as big as possible. Iron interfacing to one side of the felt.
Embellish the outside by sewing on felt details.
Cut 4 strips of tulle about 4 inches wide in different lengths. The longest was about 36 inches. Fold the felt right sides together and place the tulle in the middle with the end sticking out of the top. Sew as close to the edge as possible. Be careful to only catch the end of the tulle in the seam.
Sew a piece of elastic string to the inside at each side. Turn right side out and there you go!
Birthday Party Hats
Now you know how to make a cone hat. It really does make the best birthday hat. If you don’t want to sew you might like this, paper crown, printable crown template or this tutorial on how to make your own birthday party hats.
Don’t forget the cake. Make this Happy Birthday Cake Topper. Print out the flags and medallions. Cut out all the pieces and assemble for a darling cake topper. All these little details are sure to make a birthday memorable.
