1. Detiled steps of creating Greg teapot hat
Empty and wash the teapot.
*My teapot has no handles on the both sides, so I first need to make a handle. If your teapot has a handle on one side, you can skip these steps.
2. This teapot has a handle
This teapot has a handle on the top so I can make full use of it. Cut the handle in half with a saw.
3. Remove both halves of the handle from the teapot body by the saw.
4. Leave the section of the handle you need.
Place it on the body of the teapot and keep it parallel to the spout. Then hot glue it.
5. Fix the
Greg Over the Garden Wall teapot with a tube and then spraypaint it.
Tips: You’d better go to a well-ventilated area for this step.
6. Once the paint is dry
Test the teapot. If it is too high or you want to widen the opening, mark the areas that need to be removed with a pencil.
7. Take the knife to cut the plastic teapot.
Sand any rough edges with sandpaper (or apply a circle of hot glue to the rough edges). Then use the hot glue gun to leave two holes parallel to the spout and the handle.
8. Seal the teapot with sealer or Mod Podge.
Take the elastic band or string through the holes and then tie it.
9. Adjust the length of the elastic band or stringby your needs.
Then you can get a teapot hat for Greg.

To make this fun costume accessory, all you need is a teapot and some felt. To make your hat, simply cut a circle of felt slightly larger than the plate.
