• Open the lid and add some glue around the hole and close the lid. Wipe any excess glue off of the outside of the container.
• Place the container in one of the mittens and secure it with hot glue, making sure the mitten fits snuggly onto the container.
• Trim around the top, where the hat will go, making sure it is not loose and secured around the point of the container.

Making the hat

• Pull out the fleece lining and cut off about half (leaving enough to be the brim) portion.
• Tie the mitten just above the middle with a piece of string. This will form the shape of the hat. Check it for size and then trim off any bulk.
• Sew on a small jump ring near the top of the hat, where the ornament hanger will go.
• Place a bit of poly-fil or cotton ball into the togue to make the hat shape.
• Place the hat piece onto the container to determine the beard’s location.
• Cut a notch in the triangle shape of faux fur (as pictured)
• Glue the faux fur beard into place, making sure the small notch is where the nose will be.
• Glue on the button nose above the fur in the area of the notch, making sure it sits snuggly in the fur.
• Glue the hat in place.
• Add the mini pom-pom onto the hat, using hot glue or a needle and thread.
• Fold the hat over slightly and secure it with hot glue.
•  Let the glue dry thoroughly before hanging
• Add ribbon, thread or an ornament hook through the jump ring and hang up.
