• Trace the solo cup in the middle of the plate
• From the hole you traced on the plate, cut a smaller circle out of the middle, leaving a small border
• *the hole in the plate helps prevent the hat from sliding off of your head, but you do not want to make it so big that the cup slips through
• Glue the Solo cup upside down over the hole

For Dangling Pom-Poms

• Glue pom-poms onto  one end of your 3-inch long pieces of ribbon
• decorate the hat with ribbon and pom-poms by gluing them to the underside of the plate

For Pom-Poms on top of Plate

• Glue about eight pom-poms directly to the top brim of the plate

Making a Chin Strap

• Use a hole punch to make 2  tiny holes directly across from each other on either side of the rim
• Tie around a 9 in. piece of elastic cording on to help keep the hat nice and secure
• *you may need to adjust the length of the elastic cording for the kids. Older kids might need more slack
