3. Continuing forming the felt into a hat shape and glue at the seam. You will notice it is a little longer in the back. The seam will be in the back. 

​4. Fit the hat onto the cone so that it just meets the top of the other piece of felt. The floral wire allows the hat to be bent into a whimsical shape.
