Napkin Cuffs
Soft and colourful, these napkin rings can be whipped up in minutes. For each, use pinking shears to cut a roughly 2- by 4-inch fabric rectangle. Wrap the fabric around a napkin and secure the overlapping ends with a flower-headed brad
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
