Patriotic Hat Centerpiece
Before guests arrive for your Fourth of July barbecue, make a Patriotic Hat Centerpiece to decorate your table. Easy July 4th crafts help get guests in the mood to party and celebrate our nation's birthday! Find a patriotic hat at your local party supply store and add glittered balls, silk roses and more.
Materials:
- Plastic patriotic hat
- 2 small flags
- Marbles
- Block of Styrofoam cut to fit in the hat
- 12″ tall red white and blue spray of shiny stars with weighted bottom wrapped in Mylar
- Silk roses in red and white
- 12″ tall spray of white – I took mine from another weighted spray
- Wooden skewers
- Hot glue
- Glittered balls in red (optional)
Instructions:
- Pour the marbles into the bottom of the upside down hat.
- Put the Styrofoam block on the marbles.
- Unwrap the Mylar from the bottom of the weighted red white and blue spray, and set in the center and fan it out.
- At this point I’d like to point out that I didn’t glue mine together so it will come apart easily for storage, but you could certainly glue yours.
- I bought my roses in bouquets, so I cut them off to place individually. Begin adding roses, pushing the stems through the foam. Angle the roses so that they fill in below the spray.
- Cut the Mylar in 4 squares. Hot glue one corner of each piece to a wooden skewer and twist to secure. Push the Mylar pieces into the foam above the roses and around the spray.
- Push the white spray onto one of the wires of the red white and blue spray so it stands highest in the center.
- Push the 2 flags into the foam on opposite sides.
- Optional – glue red glitter balls around the brim of the hat.
