Finger Hats

These mini-hats on your finger! Show your personal stype by making different ones for each season, mood, and occasion.

1. Hats really show people's values and fashions change. Different cultures around the world wear very different hats. There are hats for different purposes and hats that perform different jobs. When do you wear hats? Why?

2. You have 10 fingers, so start thinking about 10 hats you could create. You can copy a style. Or make them up in your imagination.

3. Push a small ball of Crayola® Model Magic® on the top of your finger to get a fit. After you have the crown of the hat, sculpt the rest of the modeling compound into a hat. For customized shades, knead different colors of Model Magic together.

4. Press Model Magic onto itself to add tiny details such as flowers, emblems, ribbons, and brims. Is there a face inside your hat? Dry overnight.

5. Collect your miniature chapeaux! Create them with friends! Invent your own styles!
