DIY Iridescent Party Hats

DIY Iridescent Party Hats | Club Crafted

DIY Iridescent Party Hats | Club CraftedI’m in a celebratory mood this week, so let’s keep the party going! I love that iridescent and holographic styles are back, and I’ll take every opportunity to give something a holographic makeover. In this case, I decided to make these fun DIY iridescent party hats by covering party hats in iridescent cellophane and adding gold tinsel streamers at the top. Now, I’m ready for a party!

Unsurprisingly, my cats loved the hats so much they promptly attacked the tinsel and tried to tear the hats apart. One of my cats, in particular, will always find the one piece of tinsel left in the house and try to eat it. Several survived though, so I’ll hold onto them for whatever special occasion comes up next. I mean, even Friday deserves a holographic party sometimes, right?

These hats were quite easy to make, but I would recommend purchasing white party hats if you can as it will save you a step. I couldn’t find white, so I painted my hats before getting started with the rest of the project.

Supplies:

  • Iridescent cellophane
  • Mod Podge

  • Scissors

  • Glue gun

DIY Iridescent Party Hats | Club CraftedStep 1: Unfold one party hat and use it as a stencil to trace the outline with a marker on the iridescent cellophane. Repeat multiple times for multiple hats.

Step 2: Cut out the traced cellophane so that the marker lines are not visible.

Note, I recommend applying the Mod Podge to the cellophane rather than the hat for easier application.
