Craft Supplies:

Jumbo Popsicle Sticks – 3 per craft
Hot Glue Gun
Red Craft Paint
Foam Paint Brush
Small Paper Plate
White Cotton Balls
Scissors
String or Ribbon
4×6″ Printed Picture

Directions:

First things first – grab your three jumbo popsicle sticks and glue them together to look like a triangle.
Set aside to let it dry completely.
Repeat for each Santa hat ornament you want to make today.
Now grab your small paper plate, craft paint and foam paint brush.
Squirt the paint on the paper plate.
Paint your popsicle stick triangle shape completely red.
Set it aside again, to allow the paint to dry.
While that is drying, grab your printed picture and scissors.
Cut out a simple triangle shape, to make the inner part of the hat {trim it down slightly to be a smaller triangle than your popsicle sticks}
Now glue it to the back of your ornament.
To finish off the Popsicle Stick Santa Hat – hot glue a line of cotton balls on side of the triangle. Go ahead and also glue one cotton ball to the tip.
At this point in time you can also hot glue your “hanger” on the back as well.
Allow it to dry completely before displaying proudly for all to see!
