How to Attach a Faux Fur Pom Pom to a Hat

Are you a crafty individual looking to add a stylish touch to your hat? In this tutorial, I will show you a simple way to attach a faux fur pom pom to a hat without using buttons or snaps. With just a few materials and easy steps, you can achieve a secure and fashionable look. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather the materials you will need for this project:

1. Hat
2. Faux fur pom pom
3. Needle with a large enough eye
4. Ruler (optional)
5. Scissors

Now that you have all the necessary materials, let's move on to the steps.

Step 1: Measuring an Inch from the Top of the Hat

The first step is to measure about an inch from the very top of your hat. This will serve as the center point for attaching the pom pom. You can use a ruler to accurately measure the inch, but if you don't have one handy, you can simply eyeball it.

Step 2: Dividing the Yarn Ties

Next, flip your pom pom upside down and divide the yarn ties evenly. For this tutorial, I will be using a caramel blonde pom pom, which is my personal favorite and best-selling option. Using a needle with a big enough eye, insert it into the yarn and go into the hat where you measured the inch. Make sure to avoid any holes created by decreases, as it may result in a less secure attachment. Instead, aim for a stitch or the yarn itself.

Step 3: Attaching the Pom Pom to the Hat

Now, evenly space out the yarn ties on the inside of the hat and pull them through. Repeat this process for each yarn tie, ensuring a secure attachment. As a seasoned pom pom maker, I have developed my unique technique over the years, resulting in a high-quality product.

Step 4: Tying the Yarn Ties Together

To secure the pom pom even further, tie the yarn ties together. If your pom pom has only two ties, you can simply make a knot and tie a bow. However, if you have a pom pom with four ties, like the one I use, make sure to tie them securely and create a bow. This will add an extra touch of charm to your hat.

Care Instructions for Pom Pom and Hat

You may be wondering about the care instructions for a hat with a faux fur pom pom. Contrary to popular belief, you can wash the pom pom and hat together. However, it would be best if you followed the instructions for your specific hat. Handwashing or machine washing on a gentle cycle, using cold water, is usually recommended. As for drying, avoid using the dryer, as it can damage the faux fur. Instead, let the hat and pom pom air dry. Once dry, you can gently fluff the pom pom with a comb to restore its original shape and volume.

Conclusion

Attaching a faux fur pom pom to a hat doesn't have to be complicated. By following the simple steps outlined in this tutorial, you can achieve a secure and stylish look. Whether you're making it for yourself or creating hats to sell, this method is sure to impress. So grab your materials, get creative, and enjoy the process of enhancing your hats with fabulous pom poms!
