Family Party Hats
Making party hats is a fun craft the whole family can enjoy. The best part is that you can up-cycle hats from your last party and make them look completely amazing using just a few simple materials, along with your imagination.
Materials
Directions
Roll out the brown craft paper and have your child decorate it with markers and crayons.
Unfold the party hat and lay it flat on the craft paper. Trace around the party hat.
Cut out the hat shape from the craft paper.
Glue the craft paper onto the outside of the party hat.
Using the pipe cleaners, create shapes (stars, zig-zags, diamonds and springs). Attach a small piece of pipe cleaner to the shape by twisting it around the base of the shape, then attach it to the opening of the top inside of the hat (folded flat) using hot glue.
Close the hat using hot glue, and your child is ready to party!
