Instructions:

- Take the paper streamers and make fringe, cutting slits halfway up the width of the paper strips
- Add glue to the uncut side of the fringe and start placing it on the party hat shape, from BOTTOM TO TOP
- Make sure to place the next fringe piece slightly above the previous piece to begin to form layers of fringe (as you see in the picture above)
- Continue alternating with different colored fringe, going all around the party hat shape, until you reach the top of the party hat
- Decorate your party hat with paper flowers or other colorful objects you have available, by glueing them on the top point of the party hat
