STEP 4. MAKE THE HAT Cut out a felt triangle for the hat. The base of the triangle should be approx. 4” wide and 6” long. Leave the tip of the triangle blunt so that you have room to fold the felt into a pointed cone. Apply glue along the seam on one side of the triangle. Roll the felt into a cone and press the side with glue on top of the opposite side. Trim the bottom as needed so that the hat can fit snuggly on top of the tomte’s beard. The hat should just barely cover the top of the beard. Apply glue to the bottom of the hat on the inside and place on the head. ^ Rachel Kauffman thrifts what she can and makes the rest.
