Tip:  This is a great kids craft! The Extreme Squares are designed to adhere to fabric, canvas and more!

Party Hat for Tabletop (fun also for cupcakes and such)

2) Next add the various punches using the PRO, adding some with the U Cut It Foam to give height and dimension along with Raisen’s. Finish off with the felt balls. Use an Adhesive Square to adhere the balls and Mini Adhesive Squares for the jewels.

4) Last using our U Cut It Foam, cut a small square and adhere hat to the popsicle stick.  Pop into a cute container such as this bucket filled with the matching felted balls!

This would be a fun way to decorate tables, or to add to a cake or cupcake…make them smaller and attach to toothpicks for a fun way to carry out the party theme. Also…since crepe paper is very budget friendly….pick up several spools and make large confetti fringe to hang around the party for a fun decoration! Be sure to let kids have fun helping make these as GlueArts Adhesives are definitely kid friendly!
