I helped out with a dinosaur party a few months back. The goal was to make as many 'at home' projects and save as much money as possible. I looked up party hats and found that designs generally ranged around 4 bucks for 8. I needed 24.
I found that the dollar store had some generic hats 8 for a dollar, so I bought those and used some construction paper (a great time to buy construction paper is during the back to school sales in August). I measured one hat out to get the right shape to cover the hat and used this for my template. I then wrapped it around each hat and stapled it. The staples didn't matter b/c I used the scales to cover up the staples.
I super glued the scales down the staples. For a few bucks I made a bunch of dino hats for what I would have spent over twenty bucks for, AND I varied the colors to make it a little more fun.
