DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut the rim off the sailor hat. And set aside.
2. Take the poster board and roll it in the shape of a cone. Make sure it fits the head of the child.
3. Using the glue gun, glue the outside edge of the rolled posterboard to hold the cone shape.
4. Take the piece of red felt and starting at the bottom of the cone and attach the strip to the cone at the base and go up the cone in a swirled pattern. Glue the end in place at the top of the cone.
5. Insert the cut off sailor hat and hot glue in place. This is to fit the child's head.
6. In a well-ventilated area, lay the fiber foam on a scrap piece of cardboard or plastic bag and spread it out thinly. Spray paint it with the pink spray pink. Let it dry.
7. Attach the fiber foam around the base of the cone with hot glue. Place Fiber foam on the inside of the cone/sailor hat to make the cone fit well. Trim the edges with scissors.
8. Dye the adult T-shirt with the pink dye. Follow the instructions on the dye packaging. Let it dry.
9. Use your scissors and cut off the sleeves of the T-shirt.
10. Take the pink spray-painted foam and attach it to the T-shirt using the glue gun and glue sticks.
11. You apply the glue to the T-shirt and then lay the fiber foam onto top of the hot glue and lightly press it in place. Do this on all sides of the T-shirt to completely cover the shirt. Trim the bottom edges with your scissors to get a clean look.

JOANN HACKS:

• Overlap the fiber foam as you glue it in place so that you don't have gaps that show the T-shirt underneath.
