Miracle sponges are flat. It's easy to draw on them
and cut them out with regular scissors. Then run them under water or
dip them in a bowl of water and watch them expand to full size.
Use
foamie leaves as a stencil to trace around the miracle sponge. Cut
out. Run under water and squeeze out excess water. Pour paint out
onto plastic plates. We used three shades of green.
Firmly stuff the hat with newspaper. Press the cut out expanded sponges
into paint. Dab off excess. You will get better results if you don't use
too much paint. Press onto the hat. Mix shapes and colors for desired
effect. Let dry.
String
two pony beads on a pin. Dab the end of a trimmed down turkey feather
with tacky glue and slide it into the pony beads. Repeat for multiple
pins.
