cowboy hats

Stampede starts in Calgary this week. So, we are going to be doing some stampede/cowboy related crafts! Today we did some cowboy hats. They are really easy, and can be done by all, and can be decorated in many ways!

To do this craft, you need the hat shape- in our case, cowboy hats! Then strips of paper to make the head band. Tape to stick the head bands together and what ever you want to decorate the hat! We used markers, crayons, feathers and a sheriff star. I made the sheriff star out of a foam sheet.



Then the kids coloured their hats, while I was making the bands by putting two of the black strips together with tape, and then measuring each of their heads- and securing it with tape. (remember to put each child's name on the band, so you don't forget who's is who's since they will be different sizes!)



After they were done colouring, we started decorating- gluing on the star and feathers.




When those were dry, we taped them onto the head bands.
