Easy Easter Bonnets
We made this simple Easter bonnet from Funky Foam
Simply cut a kidney shape from a large sheet of foam, large enough that it will cover your childs head
Decorate one side - we used Decopatch paper and Mod Podge
Stick a length of ribbon across the decorated side- make sure it is long enough to tie in a bow
Add any special finishes - we added a lace trim so it looked like a traditional bonnet
