Mini Snow Hats Instructions

How To:

1. Cut a toilet paper roll into a 1/2-3/4″ circle.
2. Using your arm, wrap yarn around 10-20 times. This depends on the thickness of your yarn. Thick yarn = 10 wraps. Regular weight yarn = 20 wraps.
3. Take yarn off and cut at top and bottom.
4. Make a loop with one piece of yarn and wrap the ends up and through the toilet paper roll leaving two ends hanging.
5. Once the whole roll is covered, push all the ends through the roll.
6. Tie yarn ends with another piece of yarn, making a hat shape.
7. Trim ends to make a pom pom.
8. Stuff a cotton ball in the hat to give it shape.
9. Add embellishments if desired like tiny pom poms, fake snow, glitter, etc.
10. Add a hanger to hang from a tree.

Uses:
