3 MAKE A TOP HAT! MR WONKA was standing all alone just inside the open gates of the factory. And what an extraordinary little man he was! He had a black top hat on his head. He wore a tail coat made of a beautiful plum-coloured velvet. His trousers were bottle green. His gloves were pearly grey. And in one hand he carried a fine gold-topped walking cane. YOU WILL NEED: Black card, A2 size Paper plate Purple card/paper Black tissue paper Black paint Paintbrush Scissors Pencil Ruler Stapler Double-sided tape Strong tape, e.g. parcel tape or gaffer tape Hole puncher Black elastic Hat-brim template Glitter, feathers, sweeties to decorate TO MAKE THE TOP HAT 1. Cut a 4cm-wide strip of black card that is long enough to fit round your head. Staple the ends together to make a headband. 2. Cut a rectangular piece of black card, long enough to fit round your head and approximately 40cm tall. Use double-sided tape to make a cylinder and attach it to your headband. Staple it in place. Cover the staples with strong tape to protect your head. 3. Using the hat-brim template as a guide, cut four tabs in the centre of the paper plate. Fold the tabs up and attach them to the inside of the hat with strong tape. Cover the brim with black paint and leave to dry. 4. When the paint is dry, punch small holes in each side of the brim, thread through elastic and tie each end so that the hat stays on! 5. Decorate your hat however you please! There is a decotation template if you need any help. Finally, wrap a strip of purple paper just above the brim and tuck some crumpled black tissue paper into the top of the hat.
