Paper Bag Hats
- Total Time Needed:
- 1-2 Hours
Here's one of our favorite ways to turn around a dull day: make silly hats for no reason at all. Our design, made out of paper bags and basic art supplies, allows plenty of room for kids' creative touches.
- Materials
-
- Paper bags, standard grocery size or slightly smaller
- Tape (double-sided and clear)
- Pom-poms, googly eyes, feathers, pipe cleaners, and other craft supplies
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Green curling ribbon
- Instructions
-
-
Help each child gently roll down the top of a bag until it reaches the hat size she wants to wear. Have her try it on for size, pinch the brim to adjust the fit, then tape it in place.
-
Now set out craft materials for decorating the hats. Kids can make them as simple or as elaborate as they like using double-sided tape to attach pom-poms, googly eyes, and feathers.
-
For antennae, coil a pipe cleaner around a pencil, then tape on a large pom-pom. Poke the end of the pipe cleaner through the hat and secure it on the inside with tape.
-
Cut a flower shape out of construction paper. Punch 2 holes in its center and thread green curling ribbon through the holes. Use scissors to curl the ribbon, then stick the flower to the hat with double-sided tape.
