As seen on KDKA!

Want to step up your game this Winter Break? Throw a HAT PARTY!  Hats are where it's at and they are super fun and easy to make with some tape, glue, embellishments and tissue paper!! This activity is super creative and all up to you to proudly display your creation when you're done!   Perhaps have a tea party! 

To create a simple tissue paper hat: 

Choose two pieces of tissue paper of coordinating colors.

Place them with a piece of newspaper between (use masking tape to hold them together).  

Place the pieces on top of the child head and wrap masking tape around the crown of the head over the paper.  then turn the tissue paper up all the way around the hat to form a brim using tape as you go.

To make it "ROYAL", embellish it! 

 Decorate with flowers, stickers, feathers and more.  

Embellish it until your little heart is full! 

Here are some sample pictures of some finished hats that friend's of Mac Kid Robinson made! You can see that they employed varying methods to create these hats.  Rolling the tissue paper, fanning it out etc.
