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.
