1|1|are you still looking for ideas? Here's my idea|HONEY11|HONEY1@AMERITECH.NET|15:46:02|07/04/2009|
I would use a top hat, can buy them at the costume/party store, or you cam make one yourself out of felt, or crushed velvet would be nice. I would them buy "play food" look for the small boxes like eggos', cereal boxes, oatmeal etc. Then hot glue those around the hat, open the little boxes on the top(flaps) and can slip the coupons in there and fan the coupons out or paper clip them together before placing in the open boxes, they would hold the coupons nicely without them getting ruined. Then for the spaces in between the boxes, you can glue on fake grapes, strawberrys, cherries and add them to the top of hat in a bunch so they spill over the sides...it would make a fun hat to wear plus a great coversation piece.

2|1|Do you have a hat you can use without buying one? A baseball cap, bucket hat, etc? Then add one of those wide hair bands (cloth covered elastic type) and slip that over the hat like a hatband...then you can tuck the coupons, forms, maybe even a gift card or two (inexpensive ones to McD's or WM, etc) into the band....no glue and they can use everything you would put on the hat! :) You could get a white hair band and write something on it with a fabric marker to play up your reputation with your family, like "Coupon Queen", or "Queen of Green".....|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|16:22:11|07/04/2009|

4|2|these are all good ideas|karrkamper|jdouglas4@mchsi.com|20:44:41|07/04/2009|
like the white ban idea with writing but are the hair bands wide enough for that???if i had a stripof cloth( white) i could make a headband too
but i don't have any of that like muslin or even a bedsheet to tear off a strip
do u think u can buy little food boxes at craft stores??
i have a red cowboy hat i thought i might use rather than a ball hat vickie
5|3|Yes, they have wide bands now, about 2 inches wide (kinda retro thing in style now, lol)....Try the dollar stores for play food, I've seen little sets at my local $ store :) The red cowboy hat would be awesome! :D|saint6811|waylan@comcast.net|08:40:12|07/05/2009|

ETA: If you cant find a wide hair band, try making one yourself with some tshirt knit material (cut up an old tshirt)
and some wide elastic (use two lengths of 1" wide elastic, sew them together all along the long edge to make it 2" wide).
