This Santa hat ornament craft is a festive holiday craft that is made with yarn and a cardboard tube. It’s so easy, even the kids can help you make them!
After Thanksgiving, it is time to think about the holidays. Many of us though, start planning for the holidays even before Thanksgiving! It seems like those Christmas trees are going up earlier each year. I have to admit.. if I had my way our tree would be put up Nov 1st so we can enjoy it on Thanksgiving too!
The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I love the spirit of the season and the magic of it all. It’s just so special and so much fun for me. Plus, that special holiday food we enjoy, like this Cranberry Cheeseball, is delicious!

- Cardboard tube (paper towel or toilet paper tube will work)
- Red yarn

- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
How to Put Together the Santa Hat Ornament Craft:
Take the red yarn and cut it into several 6-inch pieces. Then, cut about an inch off the end of the cardboard tube.
Take a piece of yarn and fold it in half to create a loop on one end. Pull the loop through the center of the cardboard tube.
You should have the loop on the inside and the ends of the yarn on the outside like pictured above. Doing this will wrap the yard around the tube so that it secures it in place.
Repeat the process and continue wrapping the yarn around the cardboard tube until all of the cardboard is covered.
To make the top of the hat, flatten out the yarn. It doesn’t have to be perfect! Then, take another piece of yarn and wrap it around the bunch and tie it in a knot. This will pull the bunch together so that we can finish our hat.
To finish it off, just trim the extra ends off with scissors so we can put the pom poms on.
Use the hot glue gun to attach the white pom poms to the base of the hat. Then, add one pom pom to the top of the hat.
To make the Santa Hat Into an Ornament:
If you want to make the Santa hat craft into an ornament, just wrap a piece of yarn around the top and tie it into a knot. Tie the ends together in a knot on top to create a loop and hang it on the tree.
