Thanksgiving Pilgrim's Hat for Boys
Harken back to the spirit of Plymouth Rock with this Pilgrim hat for boys. Kids can make their own to wear for a play or on Thanksgiving Day!
What you'll need:
- 10x13" Black construction paper
- 9x12" Gray construction paper
- Tape
- Pen or pencil
- Scissors
- Glue
How to make it:
- Cut an oval out of the black construction paper the full size of the paper.
- Cut a strip of paper to make a band to put around the boy's head, tape it. Put that circle (slightly oval) on the paper to trace the inner circle. Then draw a circle around it. Leave about a 2" brim on 3 sides and about 4" on the "front".
- Draw the trapezoid, and cut out the gray parts. (see photo)
- Cut out a band and band and buckle out of gray paper.
- Glue the hat band on the hat and then the buckle on top of the band.
- Bend the hat piece up and try on the child.
- You may need to adjust the opening to fit the individual child's head.
- On the underneath side, apply tape to the two points where the hat bends. This will help reinforce the stress point, and hopefully prevent tearing.
Tips:
This hat could probably also be made out of felt. I would suggest cutting 2 hats out of black, and gluing the two together to give the hat stability.
