Fun Christmas Craft Made From Tubes
Did you ever go carol singing as a child? I did. My parents would take us to visit the elderly and sing to them each Christmas season and it was always a special feeling.
As I got older I took part in Carol’s services and as an adult, my mum bought me the most beautiful Christmas book filled with all the Christmas songs you can think of. I love it!
Today we have a super cute Christmas craft. I know this is just so so cute and am so excited to share it here on The Inspiration Edit. Enjoy.

Cut a colourful piece of felt wide enough to wrap around the tube and about 3 ½ inches tall. Fold up ½ inch of felt and glue in place. Refer to the photo.`
Glue the hat on top of the hair and around the top of the tube.
Use a needle and thread to weave through the felt.
Once through all the felt, cut the thread off leaving enough to tie. Pull tight until the felt bunches together and then tie in place. Refer to photo.
Use scissors to fringe the top of the hat. You can also cut off the excess felt and glue a fuzzy pom pom on top.
