UPDATED for 2017! Get my free printable 2017 New Year’s Eve Party Hat below.
This free printable New Year’s Eve Party Hat template for 2017 was inspired by my clock-obsessed toddler, Elise. By request, I updated last year’s printable hat to update it to 2017 in pink, purple and blue — and it’s a little bit larger too.
This year by reader request I’ve added a blank 2017 New Year’s Eve Party Hat. Print it on colored paper or let the kids color it up.
And by Elise’s request there’s a pink version.
Choose from purple, pink and blue printable 2017 New Year’s hats with a countdown clock, stars, and “Happy New Year” in the Lavanderia font from the Lost Type Co-op (via howaboutorange). It’s based on Elise’s free printable pink monkey birthday party hat in a larger size.
Cut out this quick and easy free New Year’s Eve Party Hat for your New Year’s Eve party. Wishing you a peaceful and kind 2017!

How to make a free printable New Year’s Eve Party Hats:
Print my free printable New Year’s Eve Party Hat template on white cardstock paper.
Cut out the New Year’s Eve party hat, carefully cutting the two white slits on the hat tab.
Using your X-Acto knife and self-healing mat carefully cut the New Year’s Party hat slit – I freehanded it but you could also use a ruler as your guide.
Take apart some curly ribbon bows – I had these left over from Elise’s stickers birthday party – or you can curl your own ribbon.
Grab a couple curly ribbons and fold 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.
The New Year’s Eve Party Hat will look like this when it’s together.
Cut two pieces of white ribbon about 12-16 inches long each. Tape them to the inside of the New Year’s Eve party hat using VELCRO Perfect Presents, tape, or a stapler. Party on!

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!!!

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!
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!!
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!!
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!
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.
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
Do you by chance have one that is just white that my students could decorate?
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.
