Things You'll Need:
- White paper bag
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Ribbon or string
- Scissors

Step 1
Try this with a white paper lunch bag or one that is slightly bigger, like the kind you can get at donut shops. The bag should be able to fit on the top of your head.
-
Step 2
With the bag opened, standing it up on the counter like you were going to fill it with lunch, draw a dot in the center of the front side, about an inch up from the bottom of the bag. From that dot, make a "W", using the dot as the midpoint in the "W", and the sides of the "W" going up the bag, about an inch from the side edge, to the very open top of the bag.
-
Step 3
Cut your bag front off, all along your "W." Save the paper for making into curls later.
-
Step 4
Turn the bag over to the side you didn't cut. Cut eight strips up the bag from the top end to about three inches from the bottom of the bag. This will be your hair. Tie the strips together gently at their midpoint with your ribbon to make the George Washington ponytail.
-
Step 5
Cut three long pieces of your extra white paper bag piece. Roll them up like tubes and tape them so they look like long white cigarettes. Cut them in half. Now you have six shorter tubes.
-
Step 6
Put the hat on your head, the bottom of the bag will now be the top of the hat, and the ponytail will be at your back. Feel above your ears, and decide where to put your tube curls.
-
Step 7
Take the hat back off, and tape on your tube curls, three on each side, stacked on top of each other in a row, over each ear.
