For the pompom:
Hold your fingers apart and wrap yarn around all four fingers, loosely.When it is thick enough, tie a piece of string tightly around the middle, right between your middle and ring fingers.

Then cut down the sides by your pointer finger and your pinky.
Attach to the top of the hat. This is the light.
