Materials & Supplies:

• 18" x 24" Heavy Ivory Paper
• Pink, Yellow, Purple, and Green Letter Size Paper
• Tacky Glue
• Scissors
• Hole Punch (Optional)

Instructions:

Cut heavy ivory paper into approximately a 16" circle with a 7" circle cut out of the middle. This becomes the hat brim. Exact sizing won't really matter.

Cut twelve 1" x 11" strips out of the same paper. Fold each strip up ¼" from both ends.

Tuck folded ends of one of the strips under the inner circle of the brim allowing the strip to gently bend upward. Do the same with another strip, criss-crossing the first strip.

Continue with additional strips until a solid crown is formed.

Print downloads. Cut out flowers and leaves. Printed side will be the back of the flowers and leaves. Bend pieces up slightly on the dotted lines. This will add depth to the flowers. Assemble flowers by layering pieces. Use a small dot of glue in the center of each piece to secure. Punch out small circles with a standard whole punch for flower centers. Here are some examples of how your flowers could look:

Glue the flowers around the hat. Glue on leaves, tucking them under flower petals.
