Day 5 of May Arts / Petaloo Blog Week!
{tutorial} lil’ party hat
I design all types of partyware but I’d never created a party hat before. I was inspired to try one when I saw the blooms by Petaloo. I added some delightful May Arts ribbon to create an adorable lil’ party hat!
Gather the following supplies:
- 36” of May Arts Ribbon per hat
- Petaloo Floral Embellishments “Bristol Collection”
- Piggy Bank Parties “Create-Your-Own Party Hat Template”
- Piggy Bank Parties “Spring Graphs Paper”
- Scissors and Craft Knife
- Hole Punch
- Ribbon Adhesive or Adhesive Dots
Ready? Here we go…
1. Print the template directly on your patterned paper or on white cardstock to use as a tracing pattern.
2. Cut out the party hat and cut a slit using a craft knife.
3. Create a cone and insert the tab into the slit.
4. Attach ribbon to the bottom of the cone using ribbon adhesive or adhesive dots. Add it slowly to prevent puckering. Trim any excess ribbon
5. Punch a hole on either side of the hat and add ribbon. Tie a knot inside the hat and secure the ends in place with adhesive dots.
6. Embellish the hat with flowers and leaves using adhesive dots. Two back-to-back flowers were used at the top of the hat. Ta-Da! A perfect lil’ party hat!

Great idea. Beautiful hat
Hats and flowers, that is quite traditional combination… should be done more often I think.
