Ingredients
- Bottle cap
- Round template (anything bigger than your cap)
- Cardboard
- Green acrylic paint
- Green glitter
- Gold ribbon (thinner the better)
- Industrial glue (E-600 is the best)
- Black tulle
- Long Bobby Pins
- Scissors
- Paint brush (foam ones work perfectly)
Instructions
- Take your round template and place it on your cardboard. Make sure your circle is just a bit larger than your bottle cap.
- Cut out a circle (that is larger than your bottle cap)
- Glue the bottle cap to your cardboard circle and set aside.
- While it's drying, take a SMALL piece of your black tulle and bunch it together. Then, glue the gathering point together.
- Once your tulle is glued well enough to stay put, trim the excess end off.
- Dip a sponge into your green paint, and completely coat your "hat".
- Before it dries, sprinkle your hat generously in green glitter.
- Cut a strip of your gold ribbon long enough to wrap around the base of your bottle cap.
- Add glue to the underside of your ribbon and place it around the base of your bottle cap.
- Take your bunched tulle and add a dab of glue to the base and glue it to the side of your hat.
- While your glue is drying, grab a large bobby pin and add a drop of glue to the top.
- Place your hat into place on your bobby pin and let dry.
- When St.Patty's Day arrives, slide your festive hat pin into your hair and celebrate in style!
