Easter time is often celebrated with bonnet parades and hat contests participated by excited children of all ages. As a doting parent, you most definitely wish that your child's hat becomes a stand out from all the rest. This article therefore desires to give you at least two exciting Easter hat ideas from which you may create your child's hat or bonnet.
Make an Egg Hat
You can easily make for your child a special egg hat using paper mache and a balloon, and here are the steps for you to follow:
For the paper mache, mix flour and water and soak strips of newspaper on the mixture.
Have the balloon inflated to the size you intended it to be, then apply the paper mache on it. Layer it up to make it strong as much as possible.
Let the balloon dry up for two days in the least, and be sure to keep it off limits to your kids in all such time.
By the time the balloon is already dry and firm, you can start decorating it. You can cut off the top of the balloon to make for the appearance of a cracked egg. To further make it look like an egg yolk, you can have it filled with paper and other materials. You may also let your kids have a hand at decorating it the way they want.
Cut off the bottom of the balloon and have it attached over the top of a standard hat to let the balloon sit right on your child's head. Decorate the brim of the standard hat in order to hide it beneath your child's egg hat.
Conventional Easter Hat Ideas
If you are somewhat against the egg hat, then you may apply the more conventional hat ideas being used. During the pagan times, wreaths of flowers were worn and today they make for beautiful ideas especially for little girls.
You may also make straw hat Easter bonnets and use ribbons and other floral arrangements around the brim. Glue the flowers to keep them firmly in place and be sure that the glue is completely dry before you let your children wear them. You can also include some decorative eggs on the hats.
With the two Easter hat ideas this article has presented, you can come up with other innovative ones to make your children's hats or bonnets a real stand out. It actually is all up to you and your creative mind. So go ahead and make those Easter hats with your personal touch!
