Santa Hat with Star Tip SVG

About this design

This hat stands straight up instead of flopping over, and it finishes with a star instead of a pom-pom. The tall cone narrows to a point, a small five-pointed star sits at the very tip, and a fluffy fur brim runs along the base. The shape is simple and elegant, a cross between a Santa hat and a little Christmas tree.

The hat and star are one solid piece without cut-outs, so it is extremely easy to cut and weed. It passes our cut checks from just 1.5 inches tall.

Color layers

• Backing in cream
• Design in red

Because the hat is solid, both layers look the same from the front. To make the star gold and the brim white, cut those parts again from the solid style in your software and layer them on top.

Projects

• Party hats. Enlarge it as a template for a real paper party hat.
• Christmas tree gift tags. The shape reads as a tree too.
• Mugs and wine glasses with a tiny hat.
• Cupcake toppers with a gold glitter star.
• Felt ornaments stitched with a loop at the top.
• Banners. Alternate hats with letters on a garland.

Size and cutting tips

It cuts from about 1.5 inches tall. The tip and the star are the finest parts; on thick glitter cardstock, use a fresh blade. For felt ornaments, 4 inches tall is a good size.

Step by step: felt ornaments

1. Set the hat to 4 inches tall and download the solid style.
2. Cut two hats from red felt for each ornament.
3. Cut a white felt brim and a small gold felt star using the same design as a template.
4. Glue the brim and star to one hat, then blanket-stitch the two hats together, adding a little stuffing.
5. Sew a ribbon loop at the tip.

Variations to try

• Rotate it a little in the editor for a jaunty angle on a topper.

Good to know

Because it is symmetrical and simple, this hat lines up neatly in rows. Repeat it across a banner or along a border for a clean, modern look.

Pairs well with

The Chunky Santa Hat is another bold, simple hat, and the Christmas Lights Star shares the star theme.
