There is an old-time tradition of wearing new clothes to Church on Easter Sunday. The reason that this tradition was started was to show that you promise a new spiritual redemption. There is an Easter parade every year in New York City, and this is where the tradition of Easter bonnets started. People would wear fancy new hats / bonnets to church and then afterwards they would march in the Easter parade while wearing their new bonnet. These days it is hard to find an Easter bonnet as they don't sell them much any more. That is why this page, with Easter bonnet crafts is a great resource. I hope you enjoy the crafts.
The pinwheel on this play Dutch Mill Easter Hat will turn around in the breeze. Remove the lid from a quart size ice cream container (after washing it out), and turn the container upside down. Paint the container gray and allow it to dry thoroughly. To make the pinwheel, cut a piece of white paper 6 inches square. With the scissors, make 4 slashes in the paper square, one from each corner, as in illustration A. Fold each corner, ( Point X ), one over the other, to the center (Point X ). Force a metal head paper fastener through all four points in the center of the pinwheel, and fasten to the front of the mill. Paint the container lid green and allow it to dry thoroughly. Cut an 8 inch circle from green construction paper, for the grass. Glue the lid, open side up, to the center of the green paper circle, as in illustration B. Place the container into the lid. Paint on green grass and colored tulips around the base of the mill, as in illustration C.
Get a disposable paper plate out. Look at figure 1 above to see how to cut away part of the plate. Cut on the dotted line that you see. Get 3 lace paper doilies - either color them pink or buy them pink. Cut each of these doilies in half and then use 5 of these half pieces to trim the hat as seen in picture number 1. Find some clear tape and fasten in the right place. Find the center of the brim of the heat. Then attach a 7" doily that is colored green or purchased green). Cut away the part of the doily that you don't need. Punch two holes int he back of the hat as seen in picture 3. Run a ribbon or string through the punches holes and tie a bow to wear the pretty bonnet.
