1 large brown paper bag or 1 sheet of heavy gift wrap
Pencil
Paints, markers, or stickers
Tape
Yarn or string
STEP 1
With adult help, cut out a 17-inch square from the paper bag.
STEP 2
With a pencil, draw a round line on one corner. Cut along the line. Paint the hat. Let it dry.
STEP 3
Bring the sides of the hat together to make a cone shape. Tape the edges to hold.
STEP 4
Trim off the bottom edge to make it even all the way around.
STEP 5
For ties, cut 2 pieces of yarn about 12 inches long. Tape one end of each piece to the inside of the hat.
STEP 6
Tape a square piece of lightweight fabric, a scarf, or crepe-paper streamers to the point of the hat.
SOME COOL IDEAS:
Complete your costume by making a cotton-ball beard.
Cut a triangle from a 9-inch paper plate. Punch a hole in two corners of the triangle. Attach one end of a pipe cleaner to each hole. Adjust the other end to fit over the childÕs ears. Use white crafts glue to glue cotton balls to the front of the triangle.
