HOW TO MAKE A MEDIEVAL PRINCESS HAT

If you don't know by now, let me just tell you that around here, we like to take our projects up a notch. While this princess hat is super doable either as suggested in the book Days of Knights and Damsels an Activity Guide by Laurie Carlson, I think the modifications we made turn this otherwise disposable craft into a timeless keepsake. With just some construction paper and markers, you can make a simple princess hat. The directions in the book are easy to follow and with a bit of assistance, young children can complete this task on their own. If you wish to make this project out of a more durable material, I suggest using felt and stitching the hat together. You can stay on budget by using acrylic felt and polyester ribbon from our local craft store, or you can take this project to a whole other level and use 100% Merino wool felt, 100% wool top and 100% silk ribbon for the tassel.
