WILD WEARABLE HAT

Instructions

Be a Wearable Art Star - By Fifi Colston

1. Cut 1 strip of card measuring 4cm wide x 60cm and 2 strips measuring 4cm x 40cm
2. Staple the two shorter strips together through the centres so that they form a + shape.
3. Wrap the longer strip around your head and tape it together so it makes a band. It should fit just above your eyebrows.
4. Place the + shape over the top of your head, fold the edges under, take it off and staple it to the band.
   Tip: Have a friend help you with the fitting!

Congratulations! You now have a handy hat base to decorate! Here are some suggestions for things to glue, tape and staple on:

• Taniwha /dragon spikes: The pointy insides of an egg crate
• Scales: EVA foam sheets
• Ears: Cut a paper plate in half, then in half again. Shape and staple each quarter piece into animal ears. Extra decoration with EVA foam looks cool!
• Hair: Cut strips of brightly printed cardstock and curl them
• Bling: Use pom poms, chenille sticks and rhinestones to make your creation sparkle and WOW!
