shamrock button or a green tri-bead

What you do
Cut a basic hat shape from a piece of green felt. Use this pattern if you like.
Cut a strip of black to fit across the hat for the rim.
Cut a yellow felt square and a black felt square, the black one should be smaller than the yellow.
Glue the black strip to the hat for the rim. Glue the yellow square to the black strip and the black square on top of the yellow square to make a buckle.
Glue sharock button or green tri-bead to the upper right corner of the hat.
Glue a pin back or magnet to the back of the hat.
