How to Make a Cute Dollar Tree Thanksgiving Pilgrim Hat
It's not too early to be thinking about Thanksgiving! I picked up this plastic planter and thought hey, this shape would be the perfect pilgrim hat. A few short steps later, and it looks great! Take a look at how I did it.
First I gathered my materials. You can find such fun fall craft items at the dollar store or craft store.
Tools and Materials
- planter
- ribbon
- pizza pan
- floral decor
- fall decor
- glue gun
- spray paint
- E6000
My pot from Dollar store
1. Paint
I took the planter and a round metal sheet (Pizza pan) outside to spray paint them. I used a textured spray, and it gives it a nice faux fabric finish.
Once that layer dried, on to the next!
No need to paint the inside of the planter.
2. Glue to Pot to the Pan
I hot glued the pot to the pizza pan and also used some E6000 for a better grip.
3. Add a Ribbon
Now it's time for some details. I used this really fun striped ribbon to go around the rim of the hat.
4. Create a Buckle
I rolled a small loop of ribbon to use as the "buckle".
And attached that with hot glue.
You can use hot glue to keep it in place. Like this
5. Add Decor
I then picked out a few fall foliage stems for the extra touch!
And that's it, it's all done and looking great!
