#@#

Trace the patterns onto craft foam sheets. Cut out the shapes and set aside.

#@#

Use scissors to cut about eight chenille pipe cleaners in half.

#@#

Twist the ends of one of the cut chenille pipe cleaner together to create a circle. Thread a second cut chenille pipe cleaner through the circle and twist the ends together to link the two circles. Continue linking all your cut chenille pipe cleaners to make a long chain.
TIP: Add a few pony beads to some of the links before twisting them, if desired.

#@#

Thread a plastic beading needle with the embroidery floss. Poke the beading needle through the back-side of one of your foam shape cut-outs and thread it through the hole until the end of the embroidery floss it almost to the end. Tie a knot on the back-side of your craft foam shape to hold the embroidery floss in place. Stitch a design of choice onto the cut craft foam shape. Once done with design, tie a knot with the end of the floss on the back of the shape.

#@#

Repeat Step 5 on the other two shapes.

#@#

Glue a pom-pom to the top of the hat.

#@#

Poke a hole with the beading needle at the top of each shape, thread a small piece of chenille pipe cleaner through the hole and link it to the garland.
