MOTHER'S DAY MINI-HATS
Making that special centerpiece for Mothers Day
Whether it's a centerpiece for the Mother's Day luncheon, or just for Mother's Day fun at home, these little hats are fun, easy, and inexpensive to make. Even if you don't have a special event on your calendar, you might make these for a Barbie doll, for place card holders, or just because they really ARE fun to make.
Materials:
foam cups
acrylic paint, nylon net, ribbon, rubber stamps, etc. for decoration
cookie sheet
Steps:
Pre-heat oven to 350-degrees.
Place cups upside down on cookie sheet and place in oven for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. The different length of time will give you different results.
Decorate as desired.
Variation Suggestions:
1. Cut off the band from the top of the cup before baking.
2. Cut the cup in half before baking.
3. Cut the band using decorative scissors.
4. Paint or rubber stamp the cup before baking. Be certain to use acrylic and / or other water based paint.
5. Give the hat a larger head size by placing an aluminum foil ball under the cup before baking.
6. "Plant" a tree of bare branches (lilacs are excellent) in a flower pot and "grow" a tree full of hats.
7. Cut a 3" x 4" piece of card stock or construction paper and draw a face on it. Roll into a cylinder, tape or glue to hold, and place a hat on top. A pill bottle filled with a weight can be placed inside if more stability is required.
8. Paint faces on eggs and place a hat on top.
9. Make a hat for a Barbie doll.
