Easter Bonnet
These kids’ crafts Easter bonnets are so much fun to make. Once they
are done you can attend the Easter parade, bonnet and all.
Materials:
• Card
• Paints
• Pencil
• Ruler
• Yarn
• White glue (PVA)
• Pair of scissors
• Crepe or tissue paper in different colours (including green)
• Thin garden wire
• Pliers
• Cotton wool balls
• Sticky tape
Method:
• Cut a circle out of card, about 14 inches (35cm) across. Paint it so
that it looks like a straw bonnet.
• Draw a smaller circle in the middle and draw four lines that cross
each other in the centre, inside of that circle. Cut along these lines
and bend up.
• Make lots of paper flowers, keeping the stems short.(see below)
• Glue the paper flowers all around the brim of the hat, overlapping
them to hide the stems.
To Make The Paper Flowers:
• Cut a piece of thin garden wire about 4inches - 6inches (10-15cm)
long. Tape a cotton wool ball to the one end of the wire.
• Cut a small square of black crepe or tissue paper and tie it over the
cotton wool. Fasten it with yarn.
• Cut a long strip of colourful crepe or tissue paper, about 2.4inches
(6cm) wide. Fold it over about eight times to make a concertina.
• Download these petal shapes on the strip of paper and cut out to
make eight petals.
• Using the PVA sparingly, glue each petal just below the cotton wool
ball, overlapping them slightly. You might need to let the glue dry
between each petal.
• Cut a long, thin strip of green crepe or tissue paper. Glue one end
to the top of the stem, then wind it tightly down like a bandage. Glue
or sticky tape the other end at the bottom.
• Once the glue has dried properly, gently pull back the edges of the
petals.
• You are now ready to attend the Easter parade, bonnet and all.
