For day 2 of the countdown, I'm showcasing the new Build-a-Hat dies. This adorable set includes dies for the hat base and many extras to customize it. I made a card, some tags, and a felt ornament with this set.
With all the extra dies included, you can add stripes and faux stitching detail plus pick from two styles of pom pom toppers. There's even a die that cuts a row of slits to create a weave design element like I've done on the snow days hat.
The hat turns out to be a good size at 4.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide. The card I made is A2 size and it fills the space nicely.
The tags are a hinged style that open up like a card. The solid color and patten paper I used for the card and tags comes from the Merry 6x8 paper pad from Scrapbook.com. I loved the fun color palette of pale aqua, pink, and red but there's so many other color and pattern combinations I'd like to try for these.
I got out my sewing machine to make the felt ornament below. The dies easily cut through felt and the size is perfect for ornaments. I used a hot glue gun to add the stripes and snowflake embellishment. This was fairly quick and easy to make so I have a feeling I'll be whipping up a few more of these little hats for gifts.
