How to make a Easter Bonnet Paper Plate:
- Place your paper bowl up-side-down on top of your paper plate.
- Draw a circle 2cm wider than the bowl onto your plate.
- Cut around the circle you have just drawn.
- Place your paper bowl up-side-down onto your paper plate and glue them in place.
- This should now reassemble a hat shape.
- You can now paint your hat in pretty Easter colours.
- So your hat stays on your head, you need to cut four slits in the hat.
- Cut two slits next to where you glued the bowl to the plate, these should be about 3mm away from each other, then repeat this on the opposite side.
- Now starting underneath the hat, thread the ribbon through the first slit and down through the second slit.
- Guide the ribbon underneath the hat and up through the first slit on the opposite side, then thread the ribbon back down through the second slit.
- Glue your chosen decorations onto your bonnet and leave to dry.
- When your Easter bonnet has dried, place it on your head and to secure the hat tie the ribbons underneath your chin.
- Enjoy wearing your Easter bonnet.
