2. Cut out the long black strips(template). Tape to the back of the hat on either side to make the head band. Tape at the back to fit your child's head.
3. Alternatively, Cut slits on the white dotted lines on either side of the hat. Insert a rubber band through the slit. Break a toothpick in half and put into the loop of the rubber band.
