DIY: The Perfect Little Party Hat

The Perfect Little Party Hat

Whether you’re celebrating NYE, a birthday or other special event, our mini party hat is a must-make!

Confetti is one of the greatest inventions of all time! It has the ability to make just about anyone excited to celebrate. The second greatest invention of all time you ask — a party hat, of course! Now, when you put the two together, you’re in for a lot of fun. You’d think making your own party hats would be super time consuming, but they’re actually very quick and easy. These guys took about 10 mins to craft up and we’ve used them again and again! Get ready to get a little messy (we didn’t say confetti was easy to clean up!) while having a blast in the process.

SUPPLIES

• Confetti

• Paper mache cones

• Spray paint of your choice

• Spray adhesive

• Elastic string

• A tack (to poke holes into the cone sides)

• Mini pom-poms (optional)

HOW TO MAKE IT

1. Using a tack poke two holes on each side of the cones, (make sure the holes are big enough to string the elastic through).

2. Then, spray paint the cones and set them aside to dry.

3. Once the paint on the cones is fully dry, cover the the top half of the cones with the adhesive spray.

4. Immediately roll the cones into a pile of confetti, sprinkling more confetti to fully cover the space you had sprayed with the adhesive.

5. Add a little extra adhesive spray (or you can use a hot glue gun) to the tip-top of the cone and gently press on a mini pom-pom embellishment, if desired.

6. Once the confetti is as you’d like on the cones (and pom-poms are secure), set aside to dry (about 2 minutes is fine).

7. While you wait for the cones to dry, measure the elastic string by holding it under your jaw and extending it to the top of your head. Cut as needed.

8. Grab your now confetti covered cones and secure the elastic string to each side with a double knot.

9. That’s it. Hip, hip, hooray!
