This fairy hat would be so nice for your child’s Halloween. All you need are just the used corrugated cardboard, paper-knife, glue, paint, pen, or some ornaments for decoration as you like.
If you are an Irish descendant, you could also paint the hat in Green as a hat of Leprechaun – a mythical creature in Irish folklore to wear in your traditional festival.
