One of the best things about Winter is Snowmen!  I love doing Snowman crafts, they are so stinking cute.  And if you are making a snowman craft (like this adorable yarn snowman) you’re going to need to make a snowman hat!

So today I’m going to show you how to make a snowman hat for your snowman crafts.

Plus I have a free pattern you can use.  The snowman hat pattern is available as an SVG file for cutting machines like Cricut, or as a PDF document if you want to cut it by hand.

Let’s get to it!

  • Hot Glue Gun or Tacky Glue
  • Ribbon and Flower or other Embellishments
  • Black Marker

DIY Snowman Hat Instructions

First things first, grab your free pattern and cut it out on 65# Black Cardstock.  I use a Cricut Explore for all of my cutting.  And the SVG for this snowman hat is included if you also have a cutting machine.

The SVG will cut on one 12×12 sheet of cardstock.  However when you upload it somewhere like Cricut design space, be sure to click the attach button.  Otherwise Cricut will put it on two different sheets.

If you’re cutting the snowman hat by hand, no worries, there is a PDF pattern available too.  The PDF can be printed on two standard size sheets.

There are three pieces to the snowman hat pattern.

So after your pattern is cut take the long rectangle piece and use hot glue or tacky glue along one of the short edges.  Glue the other end to it making a cylinder.

Assembling the snowman hat

Once the glue has stuck you can set the cylinder piece to the side for a second.

Next, grab the top piece of the hat and fold down the tabs.

Apply glue to one of the tabs and stick it inside the cylinder piece.

Work your way around the top applying a dot of glue on each tab and adhering it to the inside of the cylinder.  When you’re done gluing it should look something like this.

Now we are going to do the same thing with the bottom pattern piece.  First fold up all of the tabs and then glue the tabs to the inside bottom of the snowman hat.

Glue the tabs from the bottom snowman hat pattern piece to the inside of the hat.

Decorating your Snowman Hat

Now that you have your snowman hat assembled it’s time to make it look good!

Start with taking a black marker and going over all of those white edges where the paper was cut.  This really helps clean it up and gives it a finished look.

Next glue your ribbon around the bottom base of the snowman hat.  And then glue on the flower or any other embellishments you want to add.

Glue on decorations to your DIY snowman hat

I used red and white striped ribbon and a burlap poinsettia for my flower.

And I wanted to add a little extra decoration to my snowman hat so I added some fake snow.

Adding fake snow to your DIY snowman hat

To add fake snow use a paintbrush and randomly paint on mod podge everywhere you want snow.  I put some on the bottom rim and the top of the hat.  And then I just picked a few random places.

Next sprinkle on the fake snow everywhere you added mod podge.

I think it turned out great don’t you?

Finished DIY snowman hat

I placed this hat on a globe snowman I made.  The tutorial for that is coming soon.

    Hi Chris,
    I am still unable to find the free pdf file for the snowman hat to make it…I do not have a cricut machine so this site is no longer good for pdf files? Please let me know….I am frustrated as I spent a good half hour here, with the password you provided, and still have not found the pdf file to make the snowman hat, It is very cute and would love to make it but am not finding the pattern. Thank you

      Hi Deb! The PDF is in with the SVG file. I guess I should have made two different downloads. But if you go to SVG files, down to Snowman Hat and click on it, the download will start. In the folder there is an SVG file and a PDF file.
      Thanks!
      Chris
