Boys Easter Bonnet

Posted 2014-03-28 by EricaL ⇒ follow
My son's school has an Easter Bonnet Parade next week, always a good reason to get some Easter crafting done!

We wanted to make a cool and creative hat using mostly recycled materials, and to our luck, found a kids cowboy hat for just $1.50 at a local charity shop.

Boys Easter Bonnet


We made some rabbit ears and decorated with little chicks. Here is the how-to:

Time: 30 minutes (with 1hour drying time)
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials

Supplies


  • Hat - does not have to be a cowboy hat, a cap would be fine

    • Find a hat you would like to use


  • Paint
  • Cardboard (we used a cereal box)
  • Cotton wool
  • Scissors
  • Yellow Easter chicks (dollar store)
  • Glue gun

    • Method
  • To make your rabbit ears draw your desired ear shape onto the back of your cereal box cardboard.

    • Draw desired ear shape onto cardboard


  • Cut two ear shapes.

    • Cut two ears


  • Paint either side of your ears, leave one side to dry in the sun, and turn over. We used gold paint (my son's choice) pink paint would work well.

    • Paint your ears


  • Rip little pieces of cotton wool and glue (we used a glue gun, you could also use PVA glue) around the rim of one side of your ears.

    • Cotton wool


    Glue around the rim of your ears


  • Glue your ears to each side of your hat with your glue gun.

    • Glue your ears to each side of your hat




  • Decorate the rim of your hat with yellow chicks in desired spots, again using your glue gun to secure in place.

    • Chicks on the rim


  • Wear!
