Sewing:

Fold the hat in half and sew the spikes at the back of the hat
starting from the bottom and moving towards the front.

2.
Sew all three parts of each eye together. Place them on the front of
the hat and sew them to the hat. You can create a silly look like on
my picture or a normal look.

3. Embroider the mouth and the eye brows.

4.
Make braided tails.

Enjoy
your dinosaur hat!
