My family is big on cooking. We just love food, creating and eating it! My kids share this joy, so we thought it would be fun to make them little ‘chef’ hats. It was quick, and I just used supplies I already had around. They loved it; but be warned, they aren’t made to last forever, especially with little ones!
Supplies Needed:
Tissue paper
Scrapbook paper
Tape
Scissors
Cut 1-2 inch thick strips of scrapbook paper. Measure around their head and tape the ends together, so it’s like a snug headband.
Lay the tissue paper flat, then take each corner and tape it to the inside of the headband.
Take the remaining parts of the tissue paper that are sticking out, and fold them in. Tape them to the inside of the headband so they’re secure.
Fluff the inside so it puffs up like a Chef’s hat.
Superman usually loves green, but this time he threw a fit because he wants the PINK one!
Notes: Have fun with the colors; let their individuality and spunk show!

April 17, 2013 at 2:36 amWOW WOW WOW….I have a post on how to throw a great Chef Party for kids. I am going back and adding this link to it. Why buy from a store when you can make your own? I love them. (Pinned them just now).

April 21, 2013 at 2:59 amThanks Tracy! I totally agree – I wasn’t going to pay a few dollars a piece for a simple, generic hat when it was so easy and cheap (frugal) to make some that were more unique and fun 🙂 So glad you stopped by, and have a fantastic rest of the weekend!

April 19, 2013 at 12:49 amOh these are awesome! And I have all the supplies at home too! Really what a great idea! Found you on Two Girls and a Party Linky
Danielle Reeves says
April 21, 2013 at 3:00 amThat’s fantastic! When I first made these, I seriously just grabbed stuff around the house – so common 🙂 It’s so fun to mix and match, too. Hope the rest of your weekend is wonderful!

April 21, 2013 at 3:01 amThanks so much! My little girl thinks it’s great fun to choose her colors and designs, then feel like a ‘real chef’ 🙂
I’m so glad you like the design – I had Amanda over at http://www.amandacarlisledesign.com/ design it, and she did fantastic! I’ll let her know your compliment, I’m sure it’ll make her day!
