Place the tomato cage upside down
Wrap the metal with duct tape
Place the tomato cage on the foam board or cardboard and trace a large circle around it for the hat brim
Using a craft knife, gently cut the circle out of the foam/cardboard
Duct tape the tomato cage to the center of the circle
Open 2 plastic table covers
Wrap one of the table covers around the hat brim, securing it with duct tape (rolling and tucking where needed).
Cut any excess plastic cover.
Use the second table cover to wrap around the top part of the hat
Gently pull, roll, and tape the plastic table cover into place, hiding the duct tape as much as possible
Wrap purple ribbon around the base of the hat. Secure it with tape or glue
Cut a buckle out of yellow craft foam (the craft knife helps with this) and attach it to the hat using glue or duct tape
