A Quick Tip for the Crafty Classroom

Hello friends! Do you and your students like to make hats for special occasions? My very first year teaching, my mentor teacher showed me how to make hat strips. It's so easy and cheap! Today, as I was prepping my 100th day hats {it's FRIDAY!!}, I took pictures so I could share with you how easy and cheap it can be! 
All you need is brown paper lunch bags and scissors.

Image
 1st: You need your brown paper bag.

Image
 2nd: Cut a small strip from both sides of your bag.

Image
 3rd: Pull the "guts" out of both sides of your bag.

Image
 4th: Cut the bag in half, longways.
You get 2 hat strips per bag.

Image
 5th: Stretch it out and you are ready to add your project!

Image
Tada! It even fits my big head. :)

BTW you can get the 100 crowns from Julie Lee for free
