What you'll need:
- 1 sheet of yellow craft foam
- 2 large feathers, pink and blue
- Handful of craft jewels, large and medium
- Wide ribbon
- Hot glue gun
- Scissors
How to make it:
- Roll foam into a cone shape. Manipulate to fit child’s head. Glue and trim where needed.
- Glue feathers to the outside of the hat.
- Glue ribbon around the bottom section of the hat, covering the bottom of the feathers.
- Glue craft jewels onto hat, decorating however you like.
Tips:
- Foam sheets come in a large variety of colors at your local craft supply store.
- Some hat crafts suggest stapling the hat together. We don’t recommend this as staples can scratch the skin and can also pull hair causing unintentional tears.
- Feathers are available at your local craft supply store, usually in large variety packages.
