Make Top Hat from a paper plate. Just like Abraham Lincolns!

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plate
  • Glue
  • Construction Paper

Instructions:
Paint the paper plate black. Once the paint is dry, cut out the center of the paper plate. Leave the outside rim about 2 inches thick.

Cut a piece of black construction paper to approximately 8-inches by 8 inches. Tape this into the circle you cut out of the paper plate so as much as possible sticks out through the top of the plate. Voila - instant top hat!
