However, I have made these lovely top hats, one for each of my family, they were from a paper & printables download, but it was initially done by Tosh Leyendekker back in January and you can see the tutorial Here. Not the cheapest gift to make, but I had fun making and decorating them. Made from card and covered in felt, you can fill the inside with sweets etc. I used the circle dies to get the basic shapes. I hope you like them and will give them a try. The days are really flying in now and next week I want to keep free for my baking etc. I hope you are all enjoying your craft time too. I going to have a few hours watching the Royal Variety Performance to-night. Hugs Rita xx

These are gorgeous and so clever to have candy inside. Makes them even more fun! I love beautiful projects that serve a purpose and are interactive!
Rita,
This is such a beautiful Christmas gift. I would have never thought of filling goodies inside the hat. It makes a wonderful Christmas decoration as well. Stunning creation.
Have a great week.

What wonderful hats, and with a super surprise inside! Just popping by to say hi and thank you for your lovely comment when you visited my blog.
My goodness these are a triumph!! It's always worth lavishing a little extra on projects like this when you know they will be used over and over again. Can't imagine the choccies will last though! Hope you get on top of things ready for getting the tree up. Hugs, Buttons x

These are fabulous and I'm sure they will be much appreciated. If you cover the house with tinsel and decorations no-one will notice a cobweb or two - that's my theory anyway!!

AMAZING
Rita these are quite something. The work you put into each one is so evident, showstoppers, that is what they are.
Love the idea of chocolate tucked inside in fact maybe I need to sneak into your house as I see chocolate is a recurring theme at the moment LOL.
