Princess Party Hat Craft

My dauhter said it was a birthday hat, I thought it was a princess hat, my younger daughter said it was a witch hat, and my wife said it was a clown's circus hat. All of the above are good answers. Whatever hat it is, you're kids will have a ball making and wearing it.

Materials:

• large sheet of pink sketching paper
• colorful paper and fabric scraps
• scissors
• glue

• colorful string or paper twine

Directions:

1. Roll the pink paper into a large cone and tape together.

4. Tape a length of string on either side for a strap.

Valentine's Day Heart Pin Craft

Here's a lovely Valentine's Day heart pin made from felt.

Materials:

• hard red felt
• heart template pattern
• red sequins
• small red beads
• red thread and needle
• safety pin
• glue

Directions:

 1. Print out a heart template or use a cookie cutter. Cut out the pattern and trace on the felt. Add the first sequin on the tip of the heart.

2. Add a bead on top of the sequin.

3. Thread the needle and tie a knot in the end of the thread. Go through the hole of the bead and sequin. Pull the thread through to the knot, then tie off and cut the end on the back side of te heart.

4. Repeat this all around the outside edge of the heart with sequins and beads. Add one in the center if you like.

5. Glue a safty pin to the back of the heart.

 

Variations:

The original craft called for needle and thread, but I think you could make it easier by gluing on the sequins and beads.

Also, if your felt is not stiff, cut a matching piece of cardboard and glue the heart on that for strength.
