How to Make a Paper Hat.mov

Step 1

Line up the long edges of 2 sheets of construction paper and add a line of tape (on one side only). The tape will be hidden on the inside of the hat, so it doesn't need to be perfect.

Step 2

Fold the paper in half lengthwise, then open it up again. Then fold it width-wise, as shown in the photo.

Step 3

Rotate the paper as shown in the photo, so that the fold is at the top.

Step 4

Take each of the top corners and fold them downwards so that the edges line up with the center fold.

Step 5

Take one layer of the bottom flap and fold it upwards.

Step 6

Flip the folded paper over. Take the remaining bottom flap and fold it upwards.

Step 7

Pick up the paper hat and place your thumbs into the opening at the bottom. Pull the two sides apart slightly to make an opening for your head.

Step 8

Your paper hat can be complete at this point. Or...

Step 9

If the hat isn't staying on your head, you can add string that you can tie under your chin to help keep it in place.Use a single hole punch to make 2 holes on one side of the bottom of the hat. Tie a piece of 12 inch long string through each hole.

Step 10

Your paper hat is complete!
