June - Newspaper Hats

Making these newspaper hats is great fun as they are super cheap to make and can be decorated in many different ways...

Here are the things that you need to create your newspaper hats:
/ News paper sheets
/ Paints and sponges
/ Glitter
/ Felt tip pen
/ Sequins
/ Craft paper

Follow these steps to make your newspaper hats: 
1/ Position your newspaper in landscape in front of you, fold to mark the centre, fold in the top corners to meet the centre fold, fold the bottom up where the two corners meet, secure with cellotape

2/ Draw on any characters, our Piratr scull and cross bones was a hit

3/ Sponge on the paint (brushes tend to leave too much paint on the paper, making it sag)

4/ Decorate with glitter and feathers etc

Top Tip: roll up some of the craft paper, chop one side with a scissors and you have a feather!

These hats can be made to fit adults too so get involved and have fun!
