Start creating your adorable shark hat by gathering up a visor, glitter, a foam paintbrush and acrylic paint. We opted for a classic blue look for our shark hat, but these hats can be made in any color combination if you feel like getting creative!
Add a thick coating of acrylic paint to the brim of the hat. You do not need to fully coat the entire hat.
Once the glitter and paint is completely dry, use a bit of hot glue to adhere two googly eyes to the hat.
Next, find a piece of sea blue scrapbook paper from the scrapbook paper pack. Using your scissors, trim six small curved pieces of paper which will serve as gills.
Pull a few pieces of white felt from the felt pack and trim it into a triangular shape to serve as the shark's teeth.
Trim the felt into eight similarly sized teeth leaving the top of the teeth in a flat edged shape.
Trim one of the corners into a sloping fin to be adhered to the top of the hat.
Using a bead of hot glue, adhere the fin to both the front and back of the hat creating a fin that rests upon your head. Enjoy your new shark hat and celebrate at your shark party in style!
