Instructions
Step 1
Various materials are suitable for the manufacture of the cap, but ordinary cardboard will be the simplest and most affordable. You don't need to make any patterns. Just take a piece of cardboard and roll it into a cone.
Step 2
The extra corner must be carefully cut off with scissors so that the hood is flat on the table. In this case, the size of the cap is immediately formed. Usually it is made small, so it will look funnier on the head. Now you need to connect the edges. You can use glue, but the quickest and most convenient way is with a stapler. The base is ready.
Step 3
In order for the cap to stay on the top of the head, you need to cut off a small piece of elastic and secure it with tape on the sides. Tie ribbons can also be used, but this is less practical.
Step 4
Now you can proceed to the most creative stage - decorating and finishing the festive cap. There are many options, it all depends on your imagination and sense of humor. You can paint the caps with watercolors in different colors, or draw funny figures. You can sign each with funny nicknames or decorate with felt-tip pens and pencils.
Step 5
If your artistic inclination is not very good, then go in for applique work. Here, the choice of materials is huge, if only your design ideas are enough. The simplest thing is to stick on various rhinestones and sequins. You can use small toys for children, butterflies that are sold in flower shops, badges or artificial women's jewelry. Cut out from glossy magazines and pasted photographs of celebrities next to the birthday person's images will look funny - such a kind of collage.
Step 6
Satin ribbons gathered in a frill or colored corrugated paper are suitable for finishing the edges. The top of the cap can be decorated with various pompons or foil-cut stars.
Step 7
All this work will not take you so much time, but it will create a joyful and a little childish atmosphere of the birthday celebration. All guests will be happy to feel a little like children again for a while.
