For our Shark Birthday Party wanted to create a kid-friendly and cute shark related craft that would have our guests looking just like these under the sea creatures! These adorable DIY shark party hats are anything but ferocious and this delightful creature craft is sure to keep your shark loving guests busy throughout the party and at home as well!
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!
