Azude Mini Top Hats for Crafts, 24 Black Plastic Hats, 2 Sizes

How big are these mini top hats?

These mini top hats for crafts are true craft scale. The pack holds 24 matte black plastic hats in two sizes: 12 large hats that measure 1.61 x 0.75 in (4.1 x 1.9 cm) and 12 small hats that measure 0.91 x 0.63 in (2.3 x 1.6 cm). They are made for ornaments, dolls and tiny scenes, not for people or full-size costume use.

Measure the spot where each hat will sit, such as the top of a foam ball, a doll's head or a headband, and compare it with those two sizes before you start.

What can you make with mini top hats for crafts?

• Christmas snowman crafts: ornaments, wreath details, mantel villages and classroom door scenes. Using both sizes makes an easy parent-and-child snowman pair.
• Doll and plush outfits: a tiny top hat finishes a doll costume or a stuffed-animal gentleman.
• Hair accessories: glue a large hat to a headband or hair clip for a quirky party piece.
• Party details: favor box toppers, cupcake toppers on a pick, and place-card accents.
• Miniatures: fairy gardens, model scenes and jewelry displays.

For a doll or teddy bear birthday, mix them with cone-style hats from our mini party hats for stuffed animals and dolls guide, or the pre-assembled mini party hats if you want a ready-made set.

How do you attach them?

The flat brim gives you a stable base, so a small dot of hot glue or craft adhesive is usually enough on foam, fabric or wood. Because the plastic is rigid, the crown keeps its shape when you press it down while the glue sets, which is where felt or paper hats tend to crush.

• Dry-fit each hat first and mark its spot, especially on round foam balls.
• To hang an ornament, you can drill a small hole through the crown for a string. Go slowly with light pressure.
• For cupcakes, mount the hat on a pick or put a barrier underneath. The hats are decorative and not meant to touch food.

Why matte black?

A non-gloss surface doesn't throw bright reflections in phone photos, so snowman faces and doll close-ups look cleaner. All 24 hats are the same black with smooth rims, which saves sanding and touch-ups when a whole class or craft table is working from one pack.

Who these are not for

• Anyone looking for a wearable top hat, even a child's size. The largest hat is 1.61 in.
• Projects that need the hat to touch food directly.
• Large figures or toys where a 1.61 in hat would look too small; check our party hats and crowns for bigger options.

The small hats are under an inch across. If young children are crafting with them, an adult should supervise and keep loose hats out of reach of little ones.
