Each Easter bonnet is easy to make (we know, we've tried and tested them) with our step-by-step pics and instructions – and some handy links to the best places to get the materials you need.

Don't worry, though, if you can't get all the materials we suggest: most can be replaced with something else you have round the house. So, if you don't have tissue paper, for example, you can use normal paper or newspaper.

Get that sticky tape out and take your pick from the array of Easter bonnets below!
