JDaniel wasn’t interested in wearing it for the picture so, I placed it on a rocking horse we keep in the guest room. I think he looks very dapper in it.
This hat is so easy to put together and it only has three supplies needed.
You need two sheets of newspaper, masking or duct tape, and odds and ends (feathers, ribbon, paint, cloth bugs, etc..)
How do you put together your newspaper hat:
Place the pieces of newspaper on top of each other with the top piece at an angle.
Place the newspaper on your child’s head and smooth it down around their head.
While the newspaper is molded down to the crown of their head, wrap the tape around the newspaper where the brim should be.
Take the newspaper off their head and roll the outside edges of the newspaper toward the tape band.
The hat should look like a bowler hat now.
Decorate the hat with odds and ends.
Well that’s easy enough!
Super easy!
Cute hat! My boys like to make hats out of paper plates. I don’t buy earth-unfriendly paper plates often. But I figure if they eat a PB&J off the plate then turn it into a hat, at least they’re re-using it.
Your hats sound great!
My mom used to make hats out of newspaper for us…but she did them a bit differently. The looked more like a serviceman’s hat. And she always used the funny pages for color.

Her version sounds really cute!
Looks great! We did paper plates hats before, but not a newspaper hat.
