Happy Hat


Last day of term and time for Mini's Easter Hat Parade. But hey this is Strawberry Fields and no ordinary hat walk but an all singing all dancing catwalk. This year's theme was your favourite pop song and ours was Pharrell Williams' Happy from the film Despicable Me 2. So our starting point was yellow and everything that makes us happy. Like bunnies and bees and little baby chicks and glitter of course!
So first stop was Poundland. That fantastic mecca of all things cheap and cheerful. There we bought the fake flowers, the straw hat, ping balls, polystyrene eggs, fuzzy baby chicks and bunnies. Then we went to Cass Art our favourite art shop and picked up a cardboard mask, yellow and gold spray paint, gold glitter and colourful pipe cleaners.
Next step was spray painting everything!
We glue gunned our mask to our hat (its my favourite toy - no creative mum can last five seconds without a glue gun) and then glue gunned just about everything to the hat. flowers, bunnies and chicks. while we attached a few of them to pipe cleaners so that when Mini walked they would bounce up and down. We also coated our eggs and mask in PVA glue and then dusted with glitter.
we cut out stripes and wings from sticky backed foam for the little buzzy bees and stuck them onto spray painted garden wire and added crazy googly eyes from our favourite on-line craft store yellow moon
Et Voila!!! The finished Happy Hat



Mini walked the catwalk with grace, poise and a lot of confidence and closed the show with her Easter showstopper.

A little twirling is always a must


And our very own Happy Hat girl complete in her bee costume.
