1
Attach ribbon to the four corners of the cheese grater to make a chin strap. Use ribbon in your team colors. Thread a ribbon through a hole in the bottom corner of one side of the grater, loop it and tie it closed. Cut the ribbon long enough to tie under your chin. Attach another ribbon to the hole on the opposite corner of the same side of the grater. Repeat on the opposite side of the grater.

Paint the grater in your team's colors and propaganda. For instance, paint your team's name and logo, scenes of your team's mascot eating cheese or the number of your favorite player.

Draw a cheese wedge on yellow construction paper. Cut out the wedge and glue it to the top of the grater. Cut small strips of the paper and glue them around the grater to simulate grated cheese.

Add embellishments such as extra strands of ribbon, tinsel or streamers tied to the grater handle at the top. Glue a strip of felt around the bottom edge of the grater to make it more comfortable to wear against your head.

Tips & Warnings
If you don't want to tie the ribbons yourself, an alternate way to secure the hat is to attach a long ribbon to opposite corners of the grater, place the hat on your head and then have your friend tighten and tie the ribbon to create a chin strap, trimming the excess ribbon.
