How to make 2021 free printable New Year’s Eve Party Hats:
Step 1: Print and cut out the New Year’s Eve Party Hats template PDF
Print my 2021 free printable New Year’s Eve Party Hats on bright white cardstock paper. Cut out the New Year’s Eve party hat, carefully cutting the two white slits on the hat tab. Using your craft knife and self-healing mat carefully cut the slit in the 2021 New Year’s Party Hat template – I freehanded it but you could also use a metal ruler as your guide.
Step 2: Add a ribbon to the top of your DIY 2021 New Year’s Eve Party Hats
Use ribbon, or take apart some curly ribbon bows – I had these bows leftover from Elise’s stickers birthday party – or you can curl your own ribbon. Grab a couple of curly ribbons and fold them in the middle.
Tie a knot in the middle of the curly ribbon.
Place the knot inside the New Year’s Eve party hat. Fold and curl the New Year’s Eve party hat, slipping the tab inside the slit.
Step 3: Attach ties to your 2021 New Year’s Eve Party Hats
Cut two pieces of white ribbon about 12-16 inches long each. Tape them to the inside of the 2021 printable New Year’s Eve party hat template using tape or a stapler. Or you can use elastic if you’d like it to be stretchy.
Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One…!

Tricia Smith says
Hi there!
LOVE your hats!!! Can you please tell me what kind of ribbon the mint green and light blue is? I have been searching high and low and cannot find what it is called or where to purchase it! Thank you SO very much!!!

Kathy Beymer says
Hi Tricia, it is actually from one of those curly ribbon bows that are pre-made that you can buy in the gift wrapping section of Walgreen’s or whatever, the kind that you peel off the sticker and stick it on top of a gift. Yes, I am a packrat. Pulled it off of one of Elise’s birthday gifts in October and put it in my ribbon drawer. Good luck finding what you are looking for!
Michal F says
Just printed this for a toddler “noon day” party tomorrow! Of course I realized TONIGHT that we are supposed to bring our own party hat…this will be perfect! Thank you!!
Kathy Beymer says
Hi Michal, I love the toddler “noon day” tradition and I’m so happy that my hat will be at your party. Happy New Year!!
Pam says
Hi, I’m wondering if the link is still working? I clicked several times; a new pages/tab opens but no results are displayed. If possible can you email to me? Do you by change have the 2016 version yet? I need to work on these this weekend and assumed I’d just click and print. Need to print and cut 80 for an office event next week. YIKES!
Kathy Beymer says
Hi Pam, wow, you are making 80? You are an office hero! I will start working on the 2016 version and will send you another update when it’s ready to go. Do you have a color request? I usually add one new color each year.
Kathy Beymer says
Hi Pam, I just updated it here in blue, purple and pink. Comment on that post if you’d like a different color. Happy printing! https://www.merrimentdesign.com/free-printable-2016-new-years-eve-party-hat.php
Keva Wallace says
Do you by chance have one that is just white that my students could decorate?
Kathy Beymer says
Hi Keva! I don’t this year but next year I will be sure to make one for you. In the meantime, let me know if you ever need anything for your class in 2016 and I’ll see what I can do.
Donna Erickson says
