suitable jacket, add some cardboard lapels to a dark top for a super-quick solution!
2. Write Golden Ticket on the card with a black marker pen and decorate round the edges. For a bit of sparkle, add a little gold glitter. There you have it!

YOU WILL NEED
TO MAKE WILLY WONKA’S HAT
1. Cut a 4cm wide strip of black card that is long enough to fit around your child’s head. Staple the ends together to make a headband.
2. Cut a rectangular piece of black card, long enough to fit around your child’s head and approximately 40cm tall. Use double-sided tape to make a cylinder and attach it to your headband. Staple it into place and tape over the staples. Cover the staples with tape to protect your child’s head.
3. Using the hat brim template as a guide, cut four tabs in the centre of the paper plate. Fold the tabs up and attach them to the inside of the hat with strong tape. Cover the brim with black paint and leave to dry.
4. When the paint is dry, punch small holes in each side of the brim, thread through elastic and tie each end so that the hat stays on!
5. Use the hat letters template to cut the letters W W out of some purple card. Use double-sided tape to stick them to the front of the hat. Or, if you’re feeling spontaneous, paint your own letters straight onto the hat! Finally, wrap a strip of purple paper just above the brim and tuck some crumpled black tissue paper into the top of the hat. Hey presto—you have a hat!

YOU WILL NEED
1. Print out one of the bow-tie templates and cut out the pieces. Place the bow piece on the purple paper, then draw and cut around it twice. Draw and cut around the strip.
2. Use double-sided tape to stick the two bow pieces back-to-back. Wrap the strip around the middle of the bows and fix with a piece of tape. You can keep your bow-tie plain or, for some extra pizzazz, paint some spots on it!
3. Push a piece of black elastic through the back of the bow-tie, tie around neck and knot into place.

2. Paint the tube brown. Leave to dry, then cover the ball at the top of the stick with the gold paint. When the paint is dry, use the black pen to add wood patterns to the tube then wrap some black tape around the top (below the ball) and bottom of the stick, for extra distinguishability!
