as a guide to cut out the
‘hair’. Stick the hair to the
inside of your hat with
double-sided tape.

screw up a piece of red
tissue paper and glue on
top of your hat.

flat. Add evenly-spaced strips of masking tape across

out with the tape. Leave
to dry somewhere warm

pull off the tape carefully.

striped top! Follow the
instructions on the fabric
paint to ‘fix’ the colours.
