This Cricut hat template makes for the cutest hats! They're slightly miniaturized, making them perfect for a tea party or an impromptu little kid shindig.

With everything going on in the world right now, I figured we could all use a little extra party time. We've already celebrated one kiddo's birthday with a remote / drive-by party! These hats are also perfect for someone who wants to infuse a little fun into the everyday. Who's up for a fancy tea party with fancy mini hats!?

Make a Cricut Hat on any Machine
I made them a bit petite because I wanted them to be compatible with Cricut Joy so that any machine owner could print them out in moments.
As I often do, I laid out my vinyl and cardstock on one mat so I didn't have to keep reloading the machine. The cardstock setting easily cuts through both, in my experience.
I made four party hats, and use a different color vinyl each time so I had red, blue, green and gold vinyl “stickers” to add onto the cardstock hats.
I could have just used Cricut pens to draw designs onto our Cricut hats, but the kids enjoyed helping place the dots and I thought the added dimension made them a little more whimsical.
Lacking elastic (since that was all used up in mask-making around here lately), we simply used some string to secure our hats.
Everyone loved it. Okay, most everyone loved it. Some people can never be fully satisfied.
