Conical Princess Hat Craft

Are you looking for a fun project to do with your princess or a party craft idea?  This project is does not require a sewing machine and is a fun party craft and dress up for your princesses.

You will need:
1 large piece of Card Stock
1/2 yard fabric
3-4 yards of ribbon
and a Glue gun.

 Choose cardstock that is at least 24 inches tall.  Roll the cardstock into a cone shape that fits comfortably on the girls head.  The shape at the bottom will not be even yet.


Take a pencil and mark the spot on the had where the corner will be attached to the wall of the hat.  Then take the pencil and draw an even cutting line from that spot all the way around the bottom of the hat.  Unroll the cardstock and cut around the line.

Lay the cardstock on the fabric of your choice, and cut the fabric about 3/4 inch bigger than the paper all the way around.



Fold the 3/4 inch fabric over the cardstock and glue into place with a hot glue gun.  Pull the fabric tight so that you don't have any wrinkles on the front of your hat.

Take your ribbon and cut it 1 1/2 inches longer than the length you want your streamers to be.  You can also cut long, thin strips of fabric to tie into the streamers as well.  Put all of the ribbon and fabric pieces together and tie a large knot at one end. 

Then roll the hat into the conical shape with the streamers tucked into the small end.  Glue the edge of the hat securely into place.  Take another piece of ribbon and glue it over the seam. Take 2 20 inch pieces of ribbon and tie a knot on one end.  Poke a hole in each side of the hat about 1/2 to 1 inch above the bottom edge and string a ribbon through each side that can tie under the chin.
