Spring is the perfect time to wear fancy hats. It's even more fun to invite friends to join you in a bonnet making party. Have a contest to see whose bonnet is best.

This Easter, enjoy a whole range of crafts. As well, be sure to explore our fun wearable and spring crafts as well.

What you'll need:

How to make it:

1. Start with your straw hat. Add ribbons, bows, pom-poms, or anything you can think of for decoration to your bonnet. You can even create a scene on your hat by adding some tiny toy springtime animals or pictures of birds and flowers.
2. For variety, cut shapes from foam sheets and stick them to the top of the hat, or add gift-wrap ribbon to dangle down the back.
3. You can also add small plastic eggs or fabric scraps rolled up to look like flowers. Small touches like feathers, sequins, or jewels can really make a bonnet beautiful, too.
4. After you've finished decorating, add a ribbon tie by gluing about a foot of ribbon onto the inside of the hat to tie under your chin.
