I LOVE how it adds extra texture to the hats and makes them look like they are actually knitted! When you take it off it leaves you with an amazing woven texture in the paint! Leave the paper towel on top of the painting for about 1 minute without moving it. By adding the paper towel, I was able to absorb some of that extra watercolour paint so the paper didn’t warp. Feel free to blot it down (without shifting it) with the back of the paint brush. ![]() Then cover the hat with a piece of paper towel. You want the entire thing to be covered in paint after you cut out the hat shape. Make sure you paint over the outline of the hat. The bottles are pretty big, so this paint is going to last a LONG time!Ĭover the entire hat with watercolor paint. And each hat used about half of the small amount of paint that I made. I followed the directions on the liquid watercolour bottles and made a tiny batch of 1/2 teaspoon watercolour + 2 teaspoons water in a little dollar store salad dressing container for each hat. Any watercolour paint should work, but I like the liquid paint because you do end up needing quite a bit of paint for this project to cover the entire hat. I used liquid watercolour paint (I linked to the exact brand that I used in the list above). The secret, hidden pattern magically appears! I bought a pack of 12 white oil pastels (the link to the exact ones I used is in the materials list above) when I made the Northern Lights Art Project last week, so I had lots to work with! And I’m LOVING how our projects have looked when you paint over the white oil pastel with watercolour! You could even use coloured crayons if you wanted to have even more colour and texture. We used oil pastels because it’s easier to see them on the white paper, but you can definitely use white crayon instead. Snowflakes, swirls, lines, dots, squigglies, zig zags – you can decorate it however you like! Start by drawing a creative pattern onto your hat. But other than that it worked really well! The paint didn’t soak through the card stock, and there wasn’t a lot of warping after the paper got wet with paint. I had to iron the paper after I printed the templates because my printer made it curl a bit. We used 65lb white card stock (the exact link to the type I used is in the list above). The paper was fine once it dried, but keep in mind that it does soak through. We tried painting on regular printer paper and the paint soaked right through and made a bit of a mess on the table. I recommend printing the template on heavier cardstock paper. Grab your free printable Kids Winter Hat Artwork Template here, or you can click on the image below to get the PDF.

He got out of bed this morning and the first thing he did was wander into the kitchen to admire his little paper hat. My 4 year old was soooo excited to try this winter hat art project!
