Making an Egyptian Headdress - smiling child wearing the headdress A very last minute activity was assigned to me. This was urgent so I had to gather random materials that could be used to make an Egyptian headdress.

Supplies:

black cloth
yellow paint/gold paint (spray paint is best)
hot glue
2 in of packing tape
old newspapers
gold glitter
scissors
cardboard

Steps:

I am using a pizza cardboard box in this project; cut it in half.

Wrap it with black fabric.
