Answer 1

Mainly Easter bonnets are worn by young girls where I go to Church, and they are usually just a pretty white hat with some flowers and ribbons to decorate them, to match their Easter dresses.

Answer 2

An Easter Bonnet is a type of hat that people, especially children, wear to Easter services in church. Until recently, it was popular within infant school to ask a child to design an Easter-themed hat at that time of year. The aim was to get their parents to wear it to Easter services. The Easter bonnet tradition derives from "olden times" when people dressed up every Sunday to go to church. Ladies purchased new and elaborate designs for particular church services, and in the case of Easter, taking the opportunity of the end of Lent to buy luxury items.

Modern Easter bonnets for children are usually white wide brimmed hats with a pastel colored satin ribbon around it and tied in a bow. It may also have flowers or other springtime motifs on top, and may match a special dress picked out for the occasion.

Personally, as a child I used to wear a straw hat that my Mother would pick up at the local store, but I do not see to many children these days wearing hats / bonnets, but children still must wear Easter hats, as I still see them for sale at places like Wal-Marts and such. Easiest way to tell you how to make an Easter hat is to pick out a wide brimmed straw hat, decorate it with ribbon and flowers to match the dress.
