A Hat To Trim

      Here is an opportunity for all the little readers to play milliner and try their ingenuity at trimming a hat. The little men are invited to compete with the little women. And it wouldn't be at all astonishing if a little man were among the prize winners, for every one knows that sometimes boys are endowed with as good taste as girls. There is such a variety of trimmings that even the most particular milliner must find something to suit to a "T." If she should want a hat severely plain, she will find a band and stiff ribbon bows or quills to use; if a more dressy hat would suit her better, there are flowers, fruit, chiffon and ostrich plumes. The hat should be pasted on a sheet of white paper, the trimming arranged as desired and then pasted in place on the hat.

Millinery trims by Adelia B. Beard to color, cut, and paste.

An Easter Bonnet Collage Competition

Video of a annual school Easter bonnet competition.

      Your school can sponsor a Easter Bonnet Contest for Spring. I've included an ad below from the The Day Book. Chicago Ill. 1915. The pictures have been cleaned and resized here at our blog for teachers to promote an Easter bonnet drawing competition of their very own. 
      I have also included a collage example using the same template. My students snipped and glued all kinds of fuzzy, furry tactile elements to their Easter bonnets, instead of drawing on them.

and construction paper, pom poms, feathers, chenille
stems etc... Girls Win Your Easter Hat!

"Sketch your idea of an attractive spring bonnet above this face. Then fill out the blank and mail it to the Fashion Editor of The Day Book. A different face will be printed for four days, today, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Send in as many drawings as you wish as long as they are all drawn on pictures clipped from The Day Book. This contest closes March 29. The winner will be presented with an Easter bonnet, like her design, Free. The materials must not exceed $10.00 in cost."
