New Years Hats 2011

We've decided making hats is the perfect activity for our kids New Year Eve. Not only is it a great time killer, but we could use up some of our old craft supplies. 

My favorite hat of the night- it was inspired by My Fair Lady. 

The boys decided they wanted head bands instead of hats.  I tried to make his more Julius Caesar rather than flapper girl. 

Don't make the mistake others did, my crown says 2011 not ZOLL.

They didn't stay on the entire night, but they were still the hit of the party. 

New Years Hats!

I had so much fun making the kids New Years hats today. I'll be honest, this was suppose to be an activity for the kids. But it was so much fun I hijacked the whole thing.

This was also a great activity to use up some extra crap craft supplies lying around.

I used a 12 X 12 piece of card stock for the base. I drew a rounded edge by holding a piece of string tied to a pencil in one corner. I covered the card stock in Christmas wrapping paper and embellished it. The feathers are from an after Christmas sale at JoAnn's three years ago. I made the 2010 using shrinky dinks.

I made the pom pom on this one using a cheerleader pom pom. I couldn't go too crazy with this one. It's for my son.

Of course my daughter requested one for her new best friend Samantha. I was more than happy to waste some more time.

Happy New Years!
