Young girls will love making these beautiful tea-party bonnets. They are great for themes like garden party, diva, fashion and dress-up. You will need paper plates, tissue paper, ribbon and glue.
Start with a paper plate and cut the inside circle out of it. This will allow it to fit over the child's head. Next, cut up the tissue paper into pieces 3 inches wide and about 15 inches long. Roll up the tissue paper and pinch the ends. Fluff out the wide part to look like a rose. Glue the "flowers" all around the paper rim to form a hat.
