Meet Shelley the Easter Hat.....

Hi meet Shelley the Easter Hat.




She's a bit old now but a goody made for my son when he was seven for the Easter Bonnet parade, he's now twelve. We never won, it was  full of those  zealous mothers etc who spent years perfecting their little darlings masterpieces who won . No that I harbour drudges or anything .....


1. Get a balloon.
2. Papermache round the balloon building up the layers
3.You have to do this over a few days to allow the layers to build up.
4. Once it is dry cut the base of the balloon shape off. ( about a quarter)




Stick it inside the other half.


5. Turn it back round and cut a jagged egg shape.

6. Decorate as you wish. Chick etc is optional.
