Animating a christmas hat

[flipside]

Hi,

To make a christmas hat (http://ffindr.net/uploads/images/ite...5ae48fb6e0.jpg) wiglle and look less rigid when a character is moving around wearing it, what would be the best approach? Do you also put a bone structure in it, or do you need cloth simulation? Or are there other ways to animate such a thing, maybe attach it to a spline somehow and then animate the spline so the hat follows the spline's shape?

Any tips much appreciated

Cheers,

You can have the cloth modifier effect only the end of it by node-ing those verts with a falloff, but I would probably just put some bones in it animate it by hand. Sims can often be more hassle than they're worth.
