Easy, Fast, and Cheap Holiday Craft - The Elf Hat!

My son came home with The Elf Hat from a Kid’s Holiday event, and I decided to share because I made one for my daughter and it was so easy to put together. Most of the items required for this craft should already be laying around your home. Looking for other holiday crafts? Visit: Easy Children’s Craft!

All you need for The Elf Hat craft is:

scissors
a piece of green or red construction paper
a piece of white, brown, or off white construction paper
glue
cotton ball
stapler
a pen

Here are the instructions:

First fold the construction paper in and cut off the excess forming a triangle.

Then trace ears and cut them out. Next draw little circle coils in the middle of each ear.

Then staple the two sides of the paper to form a cone and

staple the ears at the bottom of each side.

Finally, glue the cotton ball to the top, and you are finished.

  Sophia, this particular hat was completed with a 9X12. If you have larger, it should work just the same. I hope that helps.

Thanks so much for this idea. I work in Extended Care, and I am always looking for something cute for the kids to make to accommodate a book.
