How to make the Canned Carrots hat

Well, I think you'll notice that I own the Canned Carrots Planned Carrots blog. (Yay!) Here's the PAPER HAT OF CANNED CARROTS.
What you need-

• Paper
  
• Some extra scraps of paper
• Glue
  
• Scissors

Method-

1. Make the Lord Nelson hat. And in case you don't know how to do it (Bless ye!) here's how-

• Fold the two top corners of your sheet down to the bottom.
• Stick the corners together.
• Fold up the bottom bit.

2. Cut some carrots and cylinder shapes out of your scraps. Or how about this? Make it so that the cylinders and carrots make a big carrot and stick 'em down.

Have fun with you Canned Carrots hat!

Paper witch necklace

Well, Halloween is nearby and the shops are riddled with Halloween tricks, treats and costumes.
Here's to saving money- A witch necklace. OK, it's not a paper hat, but it involves paper nevertheless. All you need is paper, sellotape, scissors and a piece of wool.

1. Tie the wool so it's like a necklace. Make sure it fits your neck!
2. Cut off a strip of paper and twist it round your necklace. Use more than one strip of paper if you need to.
3. Add the finishing touch of a paper skull, bat or pumpkin. I did a skull.
   

SPIKY hat

Your very own PAPER BIRD

The great Kittenlova has done it again... Discovered how to make a paper bird. You need, er, paper, Sellotape and scissors. Plus whatever you want to decorate your recycled raven with.

1. Scrunch your paper sheet into a ball. Also crumple a square of newspaper into a ball. Make three sausages, too. You'll find out what these are for in a bit.
2. Stick your smaller ball onto the bigger ball. And fold the ends of two sausages.
3. Stick all your sausages on- Two underneath for legs, and one at the back for a tail.
4. Decorate!

Well, have fun!

The Gift

Here's a gifted addition to any Christmas hat (or Halloween costume if you want to go round as THE HAUNTED GIFT BOX)... The paper present.

YOU WILL NEED: A sheet of newspaper, pom-poms, Sellotape, scissors, ribbon

• Roll your newspaper up, then fold it.
• Get your ribbon (If you haven't got a ribbon cut of a strip of paper and colour it in) and wrap it round your folded newspaper.
• Stick the ribbon on, or even tie it in a bow to save a valuable pom-pom. If you're not tying the ribbon, stick on the pom-pom. (Double sided tape recommended)

And there you go! Your very own Christmas gift!

TIP: Why not smuggle a smal present inside your paper gift? Things like a pack of sweets or cards, gift voucher etc.
