Newspaper Hat!

This is how to make an awesome newspaper hat!

Step 1: First Folds

first thing you need to do is fold down the top corners to the middle, like the pics below

Step 2: Fold and Flip

in this step you will have to fold up part of the newspaper, then flip it over.

Step 3: Bring in and Tuck

for this step, bring in the sides to the middle, bring them farther away for the middle if you have a bigger head. then bring the bottom left and right corners up to the crease, then tuck that section into the crease.

Step 4: Folding Down

Then fold the top down into the pocket you made

Step 5: Open and Tuck

Then open it flat, and tuck the sides in.

Step 6: Open It

then open up the hat

Step 7: Style It!

Wear the hat and show the world your true coolness!

I'm going to a Mad Hatter's Tea Party (stork party) and after jazzing it up with a few paper flowers, this is the mad hat I'm going in. How mad is that? Thanks for the brilliant design.

this was great. Our 3rd grade reading story, The Printer, from Macmillan/Mcgraw-Hill, featured this type of hat. We made it in class and the kids loved them.

i tried it but it turned out all ugly. Stupid brazilian newspapers, why the weird proportions?

[ductytim]

what r u talkin about, mine turned out great,this a grate instructable

[stereo123]

yes, it indeed. I had trouble because newspapers around here are not all the same sizes. I tried it later with a standard proportioned one, it turned out nice then!

These are the hats the printers always wore when I was working in printshops as a teenager. I always wondered I they were made. Thank you.
