Step 1

Take the macrame cord and using the metal ruler measure 3 lengths. 9 inches, 10 inches and 11 inches. These are going to be used to make the santa hat.

3 lengths of macrame cord. 1 is 9 inches, 1 is 10 inches and 1 is 11 inches long.

Take the red wool and start to wrap the wool around the macrame cord. Make sure you start about an inch and a half from the bottom of the cord.

Using the hot glue gun, glue together the macrame cord. This is going to form the Santa hat. Make sure that you only put a small amount of glue on the back as you do not want it to show through to the front.
