Just in time for Easter I've dragged out my Fiskars tools and stash and created a masterpiece ! This gorgeous Easter Hat was the result of an afternoon's work, an empty nappy box, some Fiskars goodies, and a little bit of creativity.
To create the 'top hat' style base I used my Super Sized Circle Templates to make the hat brim. I measured my son's head and found that one of the templates was the perfect size to fit his head; I simply traced around it onto the cardboard and cut it out with my fingertip knife. The cut-out piece then became the very top of the hat, and the sides were made by cutting a strip of cardboard and bending it around the edge of the inner circle on the brim. Everything was secured with masking tape.
I drew the ears freehand and then cut two from cardboard. To make the 'fur' on the back of them I used my 'Leave It To Weaver' border punch to punch a heap of strips of thick white paper. I trimmed off one edge to create a fringe-like effect, then layered and glued them on the backs of the ears. Trim off the excess when the glue is dry and curl the loose pieces with your fingers.
Kade wanted his hat to be green so we painted it together using acrylic paints and then I decorated it for him. (sorry about the state of his tshirt...I didn't realise how filthy it was until I went to edit the photos LOL)
I used :
- FIsiskars Super Sized Circle template
- Fiskars Trimmer
- Leave It To Weaver border punch
- Sunburst border punch
- Fiskars Fingertip knife
- Cloud 9 vellum flowers
- Heidi Grace 'It's My Party' paper (for the hat band)
- Heidi Grace 'A Little Bird's Tale' paper (for the pink on the ears)
- Cloud 9 Raindot Eyelets
this is truely wonderful!!!!

Cool love. I like the fur. Kade looks like he has one of those I'm sick of being photographed smiles that Jett gets that are so fake.He looks very relaxed in the other shots.
Keep creating dear. We love to have a look.

This is really cool. I think I could do this with my home daycare with a little prep work. Thanks for the great idea and I like your site.
