Wouldn't these critters also look cute hanging?  Just cut a small hole in the hat and run a loop of jute thru the pot hole and knot.   You could even put three or more on the same jute rope, knotting after each one.  Or try attaching a cow bell or small wind chimes to the jute knot inside.  Use your imagination with these!  They are fun.
