Level: Easy

Cut the card into an almost semi circle with a flap in advance
Kids can now have lots of fun decorating their party hat.
Scribble, glue, stick and glitter as much as you like
Glue or staple some strips of tissue paper to the centre edge of the almost semi circle.
The strips of tissue paper make the party hat extra fun
Glue along the flap and fold the party hat round like a cone then stick down.
You will need to hold the hat closed for a moment or too until you're sure the glue has started sticking
Leave to dry then staple on the wool to make a chin strap.
