Six Great Party Hat Ideas for All Occasions
Planning a themed party is fun but it also requires not just patience
 and organization but also lots of creativity. This is especially true of
you create your party concept and the needed props on your own.
When it comes to themed parties, you must think about the party
atmosphere in terms of the venue decorations, the costumes, the party
hats and even the food presentation. All these party components must be
in line with the theme that you have chosen.
Here are some great party hat ideas for various types of themed parties:
1. Rainbow Party Hats
If you use a Rainbow theme for your kid’s party, then the main idea
would be to make it very colorful. By following the rainbow, you can
make the main colors red, orange, green, violet, and blue. Of course,
you must also take the time to make kids party hats that are suitable to
the rainbow colors. If you plan to create your own Rainbow party hats,
you can start of with a coned cardboard or paper plate as your base. You
can then proceed to decorating it with various colored materials.
Experiment with colors – attach colored fabric of different hues, glue
rainbow drawings or paintings or attach art paper of different colors on
the hat base.
2. Magical Party Hats
If your child wants to have a birthday party a la Harry Potter then
you can easily make decorations and party hats that are fit to the
magical world. Instead of the usual printed birthday hats, you can
create your own both for boys and girls. Your party hats must be
cone-shaped (as wizards and witches do) and tall. You can use big paper
plates or light cardboard. Your card board base should be colorful
(black or bright colored ones would do) and the design should be in
stark contrast colors. You can cut out star and moon shapes out of tin
foils and art paper and paste them on the hat base. You can also make
use of glow-in-the-dark stickers. Complete the costume with a cape and a
wand.
3. Princess Party Hats
Princess themes are a favorite among children’s parties. Instead of
the usual coned hat, you can cut out cardboard or paper plates in the
shape of a crown, a tiara or a head ring. You can then use colored
tinsel, foils and glossy art paper to attach to the base. You can also
cut out ribbons of different colors and attach them to the tip or base
of the crown and let it flow to the back of your child’s head.
5. Garden Party Hats
A garden theme is also a favorite as you can let your imagination
flow with it. For garden party hats, you can also start of with a
cardboard base. You can then paste or draw different garden figures on
the front and side. Examples of figures are flowers (of different sizes
and colors), leaves, gardening tools, bees, and of course, butterflies.
The key is to make the hats colorful enough to depict nature.
6. Adult Casino Party Hats
If you want to hold a fun adult social gathering, then you can use a
casino theme. To make casino party hats, you can also use the usual
paper plate base or simply buy plain head bands. You can then glue on
various items or settle for their replicas through drawings. Examples of
figures you can use are dice, gaming cards and poker chips.
