- 1). Lay the paper plates upside down on a hard surface. Color the back of the plate using markers, paints or crayons. If you painted the plates, allow them to dry before moving on.
- 2). Use scissors or a craft knife to cut three slits across the paper plate from inner edge to inner edge to create six triangles. Do not cut all the way across the plate; leave at least one inch of space between the slits and the edges of the plate. Bend the triangle points upward to create a crown.
- 3). Cut six shapes out of construction paper in different colors. Consider cutting out different flower shapes, Easter eggs, bunny rabbits and baby chicks to celebrate Easter.
- 4). Decorate the shapes using markers, paints or crayons. Add features to the flowers, rabbits and chicks and draw designs onto the Easter eggs.
- 5). Glue the decorated shapes onto each of the points on the hat with the decorated side facing outward.
- 6). Add additional embellishments to the hat like sequins, glitter or stickers, or glue several long pieces of ribbon to the back of the hat.
- 7). Punch two holes near the edge on opposite sides of the hat. String a piece of yarn through each hole and tie knots at the edges of the plate. Use these strings to hold the hat on your head.
