    I am fortunate to be able to work with the 8-11 year old girls at church (Activity Days). We have the best time at our activities! We are hosting a Mother's Day lemonade party in two weeks and have had a lot of fun planning it! We wanted an activity for the girls to do with their mothers while the guests arrive. Everyone knows that a tea party is all about the feminine touches; flowers, pearls, dainty finger foods, and of course---tea (or lemonade in our case).

    I saw these darling fascinators from A Bushel and a Peck and knew they'd be perfect! We came up with our own spin and I am absolutely thrilled with how they turned out.

    I made two as examples and will have a table set out with headbands, flowers, feathers, birds, and hot glue guns. The headbands will already be prepared with the felt and tulle, making the activity quick and easy for both mothers and daughters.

    You'll need a bunch of flowers.

    3 flowers for each headband is a good number.

    Note: I found all of these at the Dollar Tree store, cut off the stems off, and placed them in a basket. I saved a ton of money by purchasing them here vs. Michaels or Joann's.

    You'll also need:

    1 plain headband (purchased here in a pack of 48)

    2 (5" circles of white felt)

    24" of tulle (purchased here)

    1 bird (Michael's)

    2 feathers (Michael's)

    scissors.

    wire cutters to trim stems from flowers, if needed.

    Note: I wanted these darling birds, but we needed enough for 28 headbands so the felt stickers were more within our budget.

    Cut two small slits in one circle of felt. Slide the headband through both slits.

    Cut a length of tulle 24" long. Gather the tulle and hot glue to the top of the headband. Hot glue the second circle of felt on top, sandwiching the tulle in-between the two circles of felt.

    Now for the fun part!

    Glue 3 flowers onto the center of the headband. Add a couple of drops to the ends of the feathers and stick them into place, making sure they stand up to make the hat a bit taller.

    Hot glue the bird onto the hat.

    Now that you have a darling tea party hat for yourself, go ahead and make one for a friend!

    I can see my girls wearing their tea party hats on a regular basis. Ruby asked if she could have the one that I am going to wear to the tea party. I'm thinking that she will get more use out of it than I will, ha!

      Hi from Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
      I really appreciate your post. I'm having a high Victorian Tea in May and I am doing Sew What session in the weeks before that tea. One of the sessions I'll now devote to having the group make their own High Tea hair adornments. It will be so much fun to see what they come up with.

      In my group I have retired, professors, teachers, nurses, empty nesters etc. This will be so much JOY. Thank you.
      P.S. my parents had 5 children we grew up on a poultry and dairy farm and it was the best childhood. Take care to your, your family and your various 4 and 2 legged animal family.

      The hats are adorable - and easy. Can't wait to use this craft with my granddaughter when she gets a bit older. Thanks!

      Do you need hot glue or is there any other glue that would work as well?

        Hi! Hot glue is definitely the quickest. You could probably use a white craft type glue, but would need to hold everything together as it dries. Hope that helps!
