Children can decorate hats with stickers, feathers, rhinestones and beads. Adhesive tape, dots and strips will allow children to craft safely and stick items to straw hats. Lace, ribbon roses, cording and thin boas can be secured to tea party hats. - A guest may be invited to a tea party that requests that you bring a hat that is decorated for a contest. Tea party hats can be decorated with an artificial bird's nest with plastic eggs, a hen or Alice in Wonderland inspired articles. A miniature tea set can be glued on to a lace covering on the top and brim of a hat. Paper tea bag folded articles can be glued to a hat for a completely different artistic display.
