Things You'll Need:
- 1 full sheet of newspaper
- Paint (optional)
- Plumes and other accessories (optional)
-
Step 1
Fold your newspaper in half so that just the first page is visible. You should be able to see the entire first page.
-
Step 2
Turn the paper so that the long side is horizontal. Fold down the two top corners so that they reach within 2 inches of the bottom of the paper and their sides meet in the middle. You should have a large triangle with a band or flap along the bottom.
-
Step 3
Fold up the top sheet of the flap. Fold the other side of the flap up toward the other side of the hat.
-
Step 4
Fold the entire hat in the middle on a line going from the point of the triangle down to the bottom of the hat. Re-open the fold. Your hat should have what appears to be two sections, one of which can hang downward when placed on the head.
-
Step 5
Place the hat on your head, one side of the triangle facing forward. Mold the crown a little with your hands so that it partially takes the shape of your head. Push the other part of the hat--the part beyond the fold--a little downward so that it sort of covers the back of your neck.
