Hi there Petaloo friends! Maggi here today with some kid friendly projects. Need an activity for a birthday party for a bunch of sweet little girls? I've got some great ideas for you.
Now I'm just a grown up kid myself, and I still love stuffed animals and this pink poodle is my favorite! Meet Sadie, she's modeling some of my projects for you today!
First up, a pith helmet all all jazzed up with pretty Petaloo blooms, Petaloo burlap trim, and feathers. Graphic 45's new Safari Adventures collection was perfect for making this hat. I cut the crown using Sillouette's 3D Garden Hat, then I designed a brim to go with it so that it would look like a pith helmet.
Here's a link to the brim.

This hat is oh so pretty and easy to make. You can buy straw hats like this one at Hobby Lobby in different sizes and I bet Michael's also carries them. This is a great project for younger girls because its so easy to make. First I added some blue burlap trim at the base of the crown and then glued on some buttons for a fun embellishment. Then I added lots of pretty Petaloo blooms.
I tied a pretty bow for the back of the hat.
I love those berry clusters!!

And here's another great idea. These foam visors are really inexpensive and the kids can decorate the visors and then wear them home. That makes a great party activity and favor.
I went nuts with the flowers but you can never have too many flowers you know! I glued some Petaloo burlap trim around the outer edge and added a pretty bow to the floral cluster.

Now if you've got a rainy summer day and bored kids, a hat making activity might be just what you need to keep them entertained for a while! Give them some paper, glue, tape, ribbons and of course, lots of Petaloo flowers and see what they come up with.
Thanks for joining me today!
