Watermelon Hat• Begin by cutting out the main body of the hat.

• Roll the hat into a cone shape

The hat will form better if you roll the cone tighter than you need it to be, and then release it back into position where Tab 1B lines up with the edge 1A

• Glue the tab 1B in place below the side 1A

• If you wish to add elastic or ribbon to the hat, pierce 2 holes

where marked and thread the elastic through, knotting

the elastic on the inside of the hat

Raspberry HatWork the same method as you did for the Watermelon Hat, then:

• Cut out the raspberry leaves and shape them into an inverse cone.

• Glue Tab 2b under Side 2A

• Curl each leaf downwards using the pencil to help shape the curve

• Apply glue around the edge of the inner circle of the leaves and

glue the leaves in place on the top of the hat cone

Strawberry HatWork the same method as you did for the Raspberry Hat, then, after

sticking the strawberry leaves in place:

• Cut out the stalk and fold the stalk in half along the line marked,

thenopenitflatagain

• Apply glue to the white side of the stalk and stick the pointed end

to the top of the hat cone.

• Once you are happy with the position of the stalk, fold the 2 sides

back together so they stick together above the point of the hat cone

Pineapple HatAs before, cut out the hat cone and glue it together into a cone shape.

• Cut out Pineapple Leaves 1, glue it into an inverse cone and curl the

leaves downwards using the pencil to help create the curves

• Glue around the edge of the inner circle and stick the leaves

to the top of the hat cone

• Repeat for Leaves 2, 3 & 4, but curl the leaves a little less before

gluing them in place in order

• Once the glue is dry you can adjust the curls so they look right

Bunch of Grapes HatAgain cut out the hat shape and glue it together.

Note that this cone ends with a hole at the top instead of a point.

• Cut out Vine Leaf 1 and apply glue to the white side of the leaf stalk

• Put the entire stalk through the hole in the top of the cone and

stick it to the inside of the hat cone

• Repeat for Vine Leaf 2

• Cut out the Tendril strips and roll each around the pencil.

• Release the paper so it forms a spiral shape and glue in place through

the hole in the hat cone.
