Over the summer, I saw a picture online of a sun hat painted to look like a doughnut. I showed it to my daughter and she immediately said "You should paint Homer on it! He loves doughnuts!" I thought she was a genius and agreed the hat needed some Homer. I got the sunhat from the dollar store for 10 bucks. Just a warning before you start this project, these hats eat paint. I used way more than I originally expected to. Making this hat was very simple.
First I painted the top of the hat yellow. Then I painted a wide pink ring around the brim of the hat. I wanted my frosting to be pink because Homer loves pink frosted doughnuts. You can make your frosting whatever color you like.
Next paint on small rectangular shapes in a rainbow of colors to make sprinkles.
Next I painted on two large white circles for eyes. After the white dries, outline the circles with black paint and add a black dot in the center of each white circle.
Next I painted ears. I put them at the bottom center of each side of the hat. For the hair, I painted two black lines across the very top of the hat and a black zigzag design around the backside of the head going from one ear to the other.
