Then you will not be prevented from entering the image, wearing a luxurious sombrero. And it's not necessary to spend money on the purchase of this accessory, especially since it will only take you once. Simple in execution, but at the same time original paper sombrero can be made with your own hands. The child will be glad of such a gift, because now you can dress up and play plenty, not being afraid to spoil the headdress.

In the below-mentioned master-class, we will tell you how to make a Mexican hat-sombrero with your own hands from improvised materials.

We will need:

  1. Take the flower pot and apply a layer of white paint on it. Allow it to dry thoroughly.
  2. On a sheet of red paper, circle the outline of the top of the flower pot with a pencil. Using the compass, draw another one inside the circle, but with a smaller diameter (3-4 centimeters). Then draw a third circle whose diameter will determine the width of the sombrero fields. For this, two perpendicular lines can be drawn through the center of two existing circles.
  3. Cut the smallest circle, and from its edge towards the middle circle make small incisions. After that, all the resulting denticles bend upward.
  4. Similarly, treat the edges of the sombrero fields, but make dents at a distance of 4-5 centimeters from each other. Fold the overlapping denticles.
  5. On the pot, paint in bright colors horizontal stripes, and on the lower part of the crown - a wavy line. Then, when the paint dries, cover the edge of the pot with a double-sided adhesive tape.
  6. Connect the pot to a piece of paper and, if necessary, paint the joints. The case for small - attach a decorative lace to the sombrero, which will serve as a string. Colorful sombrero in the Mexican style is ready!

Having a little time left, you can experiment with the decor of the sombrero. A variety of ribbons of different colors, applications of small triangles, fringe, small buboes - all these elements will turn your handmade into the original headdress.
