You will need:
a sturdy paper plate
a sturdy paper bowl
paint
ribbon
fake flowers
glue
Here is what we did: First turn the plate and bowl upside down. Put the bowl on the plate and trace the circle. Cut about an inch or so inside the circle...this makes it so that your hat is actually wearable!
Next, glue the bowl to the plate. We used a glue gun...because we didn't want to wait long for it to dry. Then, paint the plate and bowl. We used a glossy, yellow acrylic paint so that we could get away with just one coat.
Finally, once the hat is dry, embellish it! KJ picked out the ribbon and the flowers and we attached it all using the glue gun.
Check out KJ wearing her homemade Easter bonnet!!! Believe it or not, I think she really has plans for wearing it to church Easter Sunday!!!
We got the idea for this project from Crafts For Easter

Welcome to my main blog!
I love this idea! It looks so great--not like a plate and bowl at all!
ReplyDeleteJenn.. that is one beautiful hat!! Good job! How have you been?
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! We made Easter hats for a craft one year, but they were not as easy as that!
ReplyDeleteOh my is that cute. Now would Princess actually use it?.......
ReplyDeleteThis was a really great idea and it came out so pretty! Hard to believe that it started as a plate and bowl! I've linked: http://www.funfamilytips.com/?p=1663

ReplyDeleteThat hat is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - this hat turned out incredible. We read the first book last year and enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh--we made a similar one and I didn't realize I needed to cut the center of the plate! I figured that out later and took a knife and sliced out the center!
ReplyDeleteWe also used tissue paper to papier mache our hat...I hope to post some pictures tomorrow.
I made a had for my daughter's 50's father daughter dance. This post made me realize how I could totally turn it into a craft project. Very cute, thanks!!
