Paper Plate Santa Hat Craft

What you need

paper plate
cotton ball
white school glue
Stapler (optional)
red paint
comb
drag

Paint the paper plate red. Let the paint dry before continuing.

Cut a paper plate in half. One paper plate will make two Santa hats.

Make a cone from a paper plate craft. You can use glue (you will need to hold it tight for a while for the glue to set) or you can use a stapler (not recommended for young children, always use adult supervision).

Now that you have your cone, apply a generous amount of glue to the top and press a cotton ball onto the top. Let the glue dry a bit before continuing. Apply a generous amount of glue to the bottom of the cone, all the way around.

Tear the cotton balls into strips and glue them to the cone. Make sure you get all the way around. Let the glue dry before attaching to the head.

Tip: You can use a hole punch to punch two holes and add a few nails to secure the hat on your little head.

Don’t they look so festive? We’re sure this would be a great craft project at a classroom Christmas party and kids would love to wear them. You could even have them make a fake Santa beard to go with the hats. You could even make some green hats to have a group of elves at the party too!
