Looking for a cute and easy doll costume idea? 🍓💕

Let’s make an adorable Felt Strawberry Hat for an 18" doll!

This little hat is made by turning a strawberry upside down—the green calyx becomes the bottom of the hat. 🍓 It’s such a fun design, and because we’re using felt, there’s no need to worry about finishing raw edges.

I added little strawberry seeds using yellow thread and a simple running stitch, which gives the red felt a cute pop of contrast.

Make yours in traditional strawberry red, sweet pink, or whatever color you have in your felt stash!
