PARTY CRAFTS High-Tea Hat
These wrapping paper hats are always a perfect fit : they ’ re made right on your guests ’ heads !
To make a hat , press and smooth two ( 30-inch ) squares of wrapping paper , unprinted sides together , over the crown of a partygoer ’ s head . Have her hold the paper in place while you wrap coloured tape once or twice – not too tightly – around the widest part of her head . Remove the hat and trim the brim so it ’ s about five inches wide . Fold up about a half-inch of the brim and secure it with invisible tape to form a hem . If desired , fold up and tape a section of the brim at the front .
A Flower For Your Cap
Add some floral flair to your new hat with a tissue paper bloom . For each flower , cut out several circles of tissue paper in two different sizes and colours and stack them . Cut a 1-inch circle out of card stock and use a craft knife or wooden skewer to poke two small holes near the center . Poke a 3-inch length of pipe cleaner through the center of the tissue paper circles and through one hole in the card stock circle . Thread a pony bead onto the pipe cleaner , then bend and push the end through the second hole in the card stock and back through the paper stack . Twist the ends of the pipe cleaner together . Crinkle the tissue paper petals , then tape the flower to your hat by its stem . www . society . qa 23
