Materials:

Small paper plate, Paper cup, Green acrylic paint, Paintbrushes, White craft glue, Hole punch, Green yarn, Construction paper (black and yellow)

Instructions:

1. Paint the paper plate and the outside of the cup green. Once the paint is dry, glue the cup upside down in the center of the bottom of the paper plate.

2. Cut a piece of black construction paper 1 inch thick and long enough to wrap around the cup where it is glued onto the paper plate. This will be the band on the hat. Glue it into place. You can also cut out a small yellow buckle for the hat band if you like.

3. Using the hole punch make a hole on both sides of the "hat" so that you can attach the yarn to make a tie for the hat.
