Ruffle Trim: With white yarn, h hook, work 3dc in each stitch around. sl st. Fasten off

I used construction paper inside to make the hat more of a cone shape. I folded the paper into a cone and placed it inside to make it fit inside, then I taped it. With scissors I cut around the edge of the paper, then I used my glue gun and glued it inside the hat.

Pom: Make one Pom to go on top of the hat.

White yarn

Attach it on top of the party hat. I used a glue gun to attach it to the top of the hat.
Straps: I hook, white yarn, Make 2
chain 45, attach the straps with a slip stitch on the side of the hat, on both sides, then sew it on, or you can attach an  elastic strap to the insides of the cone by taping it or stapling it to the inside of the cone, or make a hole and tie it to the cone.  Elastic is best for the little ones, it stays on better.
