and red)
Lightweight
cardboard
White glue

Instructions:
Cut the bottom out of the
paper cup. Cover the outside of the cup with glue and wrap the cup with
black yarn until it is completely covered. Set aside to let dry.
Cut a 4-inch circle from the
lightweight cardboard. Cut a 4-inch circle from the black felt. Glue the
felt piece to the lightweight cardboard piece. This will be the hat
brim.
Glue the wide edge of the
paper cup to the felt side of the hat brim. Make sure the cup is centered
on the hat brim. Cut a 6 ½ x ¾-inch piece of blue felt. Glue the blue felt
piece around the cup above the hat brim. Cut a small red buckle out of the
