1. Take one folded sheet
of newspaper (4 pages), and with the spine at the top lay out
on flat surface.
|
 |
2. Fold in each top corner
so they meet in the middle leaving about 2" flaps at the
bottom.
|
 |
3. Fold the top bottom
flap half its width; then fold again to meet the bottom edge
of the triangle folds (not shown.) This creates a smooth rim
with no raw edges, one half the depth of the original flaps.
|
 |
4. Flip paper and repeat
step 3.
|
 |
5. Turn paper over; fold
ends in approximately 4-5" each side as shown. (This determines
the size of the hat.)
|
 |
6. Fold bottom corners
up into triangles.
|
 |
7. Turn up bottom and tuck
behind rim fold.
|
 |
8. You now have what looks
like the end of a house.
|
 |
9. Fold
top triangle down and tuck into rim.
|
 |
10. If it looks like this
you are doing fine!
|
 |
11. Open up from bottom.
|
 |
12. Place down on flat
surface to form a square.
|
 |
13. Fold one of the two
triangular corners and tuck into rim.
|
 |
14. Repeat step 13 with
the other remaining corner.
|
 |
15. Finish creasing the
inside corners to form a square shape.
|
 |
16. The hat is now finished
and we hope it will be just the right size!
