How to Make Personalized Hats:
Step 1: Have an adult cut a circle or square from a scrap of fabric large enough to cover the front emblem of a baseball hat. Glue the fabric over the emblem.
Step 2: Decorate your hat with fabric paints and markers. Make your baseball hat into a fun beach cap. Paint an underwater ocean scene with fish and seaweed. Use the markers to add detail to the picture.

Wild and Styled Hats
Wild and styled hats are so simple to create. Make a serious hat for parties, a silly hat just for laughs, or a theme hat to accompany a costume.
What You'll Need:
Wrapping paper
Scissors
Craft glue
Old paintbrush
Balloon or large ball
Trims such as feathers, ribbons, or rhinestones
How to Make Wild and Styled Hats:
Step 1: Cut two big identical circles out of wrapping paper.
Step 2: Mix equal parts of water and glue together. Using an old paintbrush, coat the wrong side of one piece of wrapping paper with glue. Place the other piece, wrong side down, over the glue.
Step 3: Place the paper on your head and form it into a hat shape while the glue is still wet. Once you've shaped the hat, place it over a blown-up balloon or a large ball.
Step 4: Let the hat set overnight. When it's dry, decorate it with feathers, ribbons, glitter, or rhinestones.
