- Cut a piece of twine 20” long and fold in half.
- Tie the cut ends of the twine around the pom-pom.
- Thread the looped end of the twine through the hole at the top of the hat.
- Pull on the twine loop to force the hat on top of the pom-pom.
- Glue one wood ball to the bottom edge of the hat. Glue two painted wood circles onto the front of the hat.
