Kids Homemade Party Hat Ideas

Try these one-of-a-kind kids homemade party hat ideas for your next kids party. From fancy bonnets to sombreros, wizard cone hats to princess crowns. Learn how to make them all with simple craft and homemade materials.
Poke a hole in each side of the hat along the bottom edge. Run a knotted piece of ribbon or lightweight elastic through each hole to hold on child’s head.

LITTLE PRINCESS HEAD WREATH

Cut a piece of cellophane wire to fit your child’s head. (This type of wire has foil shapes attached to it and can be used to decorative a package instead of ribbon) Take several pieces of curling ribbon, curl on end then tie to the back of the headband. Use bright complementary colors that will look really pretty flowing down your little girl’s back.

NEWSPAPER SAILOR HAT

Take one large newspaper sheet folded in half. You can also use wrapping paper for a pretty patterned hat,
or plain paper to decorate on your own. A 16 x 19 piece is the right size to fit a child’s head.

Lay the rectangle on the table and fold each side evenly at a 45 degree angle to meet the middle crease.
This makes a pointed top. Fold the bottom edges up, each to their own side, overlapping the two triangles.
Tape to hold if necessary. Open up to try on your homemade hat.

VISOR HAT

Visors are an popular type of party hat. Inexpensive foam visors with an telephone-cord type band can be
purchased from craft stores. They come in many bright colors and can be decorated with glitter paints and
pre-cut foam pieces such as flower and bugs.

Make your own visor by cutting out the center of a paper plate to make a band to fit on the child’s head.
Then cut the round plate center into a half-circle and staple it to the band. Decorate as desired.
