DIY Craft: A Tiny Hat

What You'll Need

• Paper
• Scissors
• Pencil (or pen)
• Glue stick
• Glue gun or liquid glue
• X-Acto Knife 
• Bone Folder (not necessary but useful)

How-to:

1. Start by making a cylinder. Adjust the width and height to your preference, but a marching band hat should be fairly tall. Glue a thin band around the top and bottom.
2. To form the top of your hat, glue the cylinder down to a piece of paper the same colour as your bands.
3. Once dry, trim the excess paper. Next, flip the hat over and glue it onto a piece of paper. This can be whatever colour you choose.
4. Once dry, trim the excess, leaving a half a circle in front for the hat’s brim.

Finishing Touch: Add a feather and a fancy emblem to the front and you're ready to start your own marching band!
