How to Draw a Christmas Hat
Drawing a festive Christmas hat can help add some festive cheer to your holiday season! Whether you’re into cartooning or painting, follow these easy steps to create a joyful holiday hat.
Step 1: Preparing the Hat’s Basic Shape
Start by drawing a simple curved line for the bottom of the hat. Then, draw two lines to form the sides of the hat’s brim inward. To make an adorable bobble, draw an oval near the point of the hat.
Step 2: Drawing the Pom-Pom
Take a pen or a pencil and draw a circle at the tip of the hat for the pom-pom. Generally, a pom-pom is round, but you can also make it look like a star if you prefer. If you decide to draw a star, draw four curved lines to make the pointed tips.
Step 3: Adding Details
Now add some final touches to make your drawing as perfect as possible! To emphasize the hat’s brim, draw two curved lines along the inner side facing outwards. To bring out the shape and edge of the pom-pom, draw a circle and another curved line to make it look complete.
Step 4: Adding the Final Touches
There are so many fun details you can add to make the hat look unique. Add some festive holly berries and leaves, colorful geometric patterns, and snowflakes. Add a few stars or dots on the pom-pom to make it look extra fancy!
Step 5: Color it In!
Now for the fun part – you get to create a unique look for your Christmas hat by filling in the colors! Go wild with festive colors like red and green, or go for something classic like holiday shades of silver and gold. You can also add some more details by using sketch pens or markers. Once you’re done, your hat is complete and ready to be made into a festive decoration!
Step 6: Preparing a Base
If you plan to make your Christmas hat into a physical decoration, you’ll need to prepare a base first. You can make a hat stand using cardstock or construction paper, or use styrofoam balls to make a wall hanging ornament. Don’t forget to add a hook on top of the base so you can hang it up!
Step 7: Assemble It
Once you’ve got all your pieces ready, it’s time to assemble your Christmas hat! You can use hot glue or double-sided tape to attach the hat to the base. If you want to make the hat look more festive, go ahead and glue on extra pieces of ribbon, sequins, buttons, and glitter. Your Christmas hat is now complete and ready to hang!
Step 8: Enjoy the Festive Season
Your Christmas hat may be complete, but your fun isn’t over! Time to hang up your decorations, put on some festive music, stock up on chocolates and eggnog, and get ready to celebrate the holiday season with your family. It’s also the perfect time to make some homemade treats and sweets, bake some Christmas cookies and pull out all the decorations for a joyful and merry Christmas!
