4 OTHER WAYS TO USE YOUR ROYAL TOUR HAT

CREATE A MINI XMAS TREE

Ever realised a cone hat resembles the shape of a Christmas tree? Bring the festivity to your work desk or at home by wrapping green tinsel around your hat and securing it with a bit of sticky tape. Then, top it with a glittery star and Bob’s your uncle! To jazz up your mini tree even further, just attach miniature baubles using double-sided tape or Blu Tack.

MAKE IT A TRUMPET

If you’re sick of friends and family drowning you out, make yourself heard with a DIY mouthpiece! Whether you’re struggling to let the hordes know lunch is ready, or fed up with everyone talking during your favourite TV show, just take out your trusty cone hat, raise it to your lips and make a scene. A megaphone has never looked so cute – or patriotic!

HOLD YOUR POPCORN

Avoid washing up duties by turning your cone hat into a petite popcorn bucket. Given its size, it’s incidental portion control, so snacking has never been smarter! Once you’ve polished your popcorn off, wipe the salt away with a tissue and place it back on your head.

CHANNEL MADONNA

It wouldn’t be a cone hat party without a nod to the Queen of Pop! Your hats can also be used to create Madonna’s infamous cone bra. To keep your modesty under wraps, be sure to poke holes into the sides of the hats and attach string securely at the bust. Fast fact: Madge’s original cone bra sold for more than $55,000. Translation: yyou mayy be sittingg on a ggold mine!
