Inspired by lots of Easter bonnets we have seen I decided that I fancied making one. I was telling my mother in law about this and she fished out a magazine cutting that she had for years to make a Daisy Easter bonnet. Well I tried and failed miserably as I could not follow the instructions at all – they made not the least bit of sense, so I decided to make up my own way!
Thinking Daisy!
You will need white Crepe paper, Yellow crepe paper, ribbon or string, pins and needle and thread.
Equipment
1. Cut out a 50cm by 35 cm rectangle in the yellow crepe paper.
2. Fold over 2cm margins on all four sides.
3. Along the bottom edge of the longest side sew running stitch.
4. Pull together and tie
The back of the bonnet!
5. The the ribbon or string under the front folded margin and pin in place.
6. Concertina the white crepe paper and draw on half a petal at the length you would like them. 15-20 cm is good!
7. Pin the petals underneath the bonnet edge with the ribbon to edge.
Pin the petals on to the front of the bonnet!
8. Sew into place using back-stitch.
9. Voila – one easy and fairly effective Easter Bonnet!
Daisy Girl!
Noisy Daisy!
By the way she is not crying in this picture she is shouting cheese! Little Madam is not a dainty Daisy!

Very cute! what a cool idea! xx
She is so sweet! I really want to start making it a tradition to do an Easter bonnet with my little Priscilla. I guess I better get on that soon! Thanks for the inspiration.
Too cute! Love this simple idea
I love that first pic! Adorable!

Thank you! We gave it a shot! x
Very creative Kerry, I think I am going to need to start being more crafty, I am useless! x
Mads will love some crafty things now – get some finger paints out. x
Lovely and creative!
puts my lack of crafts to shame x
Don’t be silly, I know you are a multi talented woman as you are a mother of three – it is in the genes!
This came out really cute, I can never follow directions either. I love the picture with your daughter yelling cheese!
I am useless at instructions! It is more likely me and my weird brain but I was better off going my own way on this one! Yes she is a noisy creature!
That is beautiful and we are on a similar wavelength as we made a daffodil Easter bonnet
Ahhh Great minds think alike!
I laughed out loud with that last photo. She is so sweet, and this hat is adorable. Thanks for the inspiration, and the laughter.
I know, it was like if I say cheese really quick then I can take this hat off!
Oh my, what a very CUTE idea!!! And yes, I have trouble getting the kids to wear their hats!
Thanks for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!
