Instructions

    • 1

      Take one sheet of newspaper. Keep it folded up into fourths.

    • 2

      With the fold at the top, fold the top left-hand corner to the center of the paper, and crease. Fold the top right-hand corner to the center, and crease. Tape in place to hold.

    • 3

      Fold the top layer of the bottom edge up halfway so the edge is right below the triangles you formed in Step 1, then crease. Fold the same edge again in half so that it now covers the bottom of the triangles, then crease. Tape in place to hold. Turn the paper over. Repeat for bottom edge on this side; tape to hold.

    • 4

      Draw a skull and crossbones on the center of the pirate hat, if desired. Open the bottom edges of the hat out.
