Top Tip

When making the plate into a cone, hold it in place until the glue is fully dry otherwise it could unravel.

How to Make

Step 1

Take a paper plate and cut it in half. Then roll it into a cone shape, making sure the white underneath of the plate is on the outside. Glue it in place using the glue gun.

Step 2

Step 3

Cut a beak shape out of orange foam and stick it to the top of the cone, about an inch from the top. Stick two wiggle eyes just above the beak. Make a woolly hat from foam sheets, then use the glue gun to stick the hat to the point of the cone.
