How to make Naruto’ sleeping hat – tutorial

Hi there, with this tutorial I’d like to show you how to realize a funny cosplayer accessory that will surely obtain great appreciation: the Naruto’ sleeping hat! Naruto-kun doesn’t need an introduction, he is the main character of one of the most famous manga series in the world!

To realize this project you need:

– stretch green fabric;

– white felt;

– black felt;

– 1 pompon;

Let’s start taking measurements of the cirmunference of your head. Add about 10 cm. Halve the total, this will be the base of each triangle that we’ll drawing (for me 60 + 10 = 70 : 2 = 35). Draw on the green fabric 2 triangles with the base that we have just calculate and 45 cm for height. Cut from the white felt 2 strips long like the base of the triangle and height 5 cm.

Fit the white strips on the edge of the wrong side of each triangle and sew along the external side. Turn under the strip on th right side and sew also the other side. Now you have to stitch together the 2 triangles with the right sides face each other. Just remember to add the pompon at the end!

Now let’s think about decoration. Copy or print the eyes on felt, cut 4 rectangles 4 x 3 cm to do the theeth. Baste the shape on the hat and sew up with the sewing machine.

Join the ractangles in pairs and fix them on the edge of hat about under the eyes.

Now is the turn of the nose: cut a circle from the fabric, baste along the edge, put cotton in the center and just pull the thread of the baste, as to make a little stuffed sack. This will be the nose of your hat, you just have to sew it on the edge of the white strips.
