This is a unique take on a party hat I think you will really like. Perfect for a car theme, robot theme or anything else you want to use them for!
My son was turning two and has been very into wearing hats lately. I knew if he was having a party, we had to get him a party hat! I decided to use a less traditional idea just for fun. This is technically a headband with some embellishments on it. If I could do it again, I would use plastic probably. This paper ripped easily in the hands of my two year old. He ripped two before people even came and I finally just told him he had to wait till after the party to wear his!
What you need for your gear party hat
Begin by cutting out the file I created for you. It will include both the gears and the headband. I created it to fit on a toddler’s head so if you have bigger kids you may want to measure their heads and edit the cut file as necessary.
After both pieces are cut, heat up your hot glue gun and press glue your gears into the center of the headband.
I found putting the glue on the gears was the safest way to get these glued on!
Put a strip of hot glue on one edge of your headband and connect it to the opposite side. I then put a little clothespin on the two edges so I didn’t have to hold them in place. I did this because I was making quite a few at the same time!
Once the hot glue was all dry I was all done. My son really loved these. Here he is wearing two at the same time! He subsequently ripped them both but still…
