I created this Santa hat as a tribute to musician https://soundcloud.com/jkanizzle and http://www.subatomica.org/

You can create your own hat in a few easy steps.

Supplies:

  • One Santa hat
  • One set of thick, solid, self-stick letters

Assembly time: 5 minutes

I bought a few Santa hats from the Dollar Store to experiment. I searched for hats with the least-fluffy fur.

I bought a few sets of letters from the local craft store. Solid letters, about 1mm thick (1/16"), worked best for me.

I liked these: http://www.michaels.com/thickers-duotone-glitter-chipboard-alphabet-stickers/10269698.html#q=+10269698&start=1

The self-stick adhesive on the letters has held up for light use; I anticipate that hot glue might be required if the letters start falling off.

Assembly

Align the fur the way you want it.

Start attaching letters in the center first, then work outward.

Finish

Add bling (such as decorative eyeglasses).

Your hat is now ready for the Santacon or the Playa.
