Last Friday, I received a letter from school that there will be an Easter Bonnet competition. My son loves to get involved in each of the school activities and so we decided to make one. I have to be honest that I always love to recycle their crafts as much as possible. I did a bonnet hat for Ms C and won a prize before but I couldn’t find it. So we had to start again.
I did Google for Easter Bonnet Hat and found this quick and easy craft using a paper plate from Crafts Ideas.
For this craft, most of the materials are recycled from an Easter egg hunt or gift.
Materials:
- Paper plate
- Scissors & Pen knife
- Glue & Stapler
- Double sided tape
- Décor: Ribbon, Paper Chain, Eggs card, Flower cards, Easter theme foam etc
After using a pen knife to slit the paper plate, we decorated it with foam, paper chain for the ribbon and pasted some old Easter egg hunt kits. This is such a simple craft especially as everything is recycled from last year. We didn’t need to buy anything at all!
lovely, and well explained.
good hand work for my little one
great idea – they look fab!
This was so useful for me as I had to make an Easter bonnet for my son’s preschool session. Phew! thank you x
They look great fun! I remember my mother helping me to make bonnets from paper plates when I was little. All sorts were added to the bonnets. I remember the parades as well. Good luck in the competition. #pintorials
That’s a great idea. We did something similar a few years ago. Now I just buy them LOL.
Brilliant idea – wondering what to do with the party left-over paper plates!
What a fantastic idea, we will definitely be doing this 🙂
