Step 1
Draw the outline shape for your hat.  This
is just freehand but if you need you can
find lots of template online.
Step 4
Sprinkle glitter over the glue!
Step 5
If you don't like to work with glitter you
can use paint, or even gold cording, yarn,
or a different color construction paper.
Step 3
Run a line o glue along the top edge of
each piece of the hat.
Step 6
Consider making one part of the hat with a
special star or something. Gold foil stickers
would look great on these!
Step 7
Set the pieces of your hat aside to dry.
Step 2
You need these of these shapes for your
hat.  If you want make them red, white
and blue for a patriotic looking hat.
Step 8
When dry hold two pieces of the hat back
to back and staple the edges.
Step 9
Go around the hat stapling the sides of the
hat together.  You can make it smaller or
larger at this point to fit your child's head.
Try on your new tricorn hat and have fun
celebrating President's Day!
