    This document provides instructions for making paper hats in two different methods. Method 1 involves folding a square or rectangular piece of paper into the shape of a hat, then folding the brim and securing it with tape or glue. Method 2 uses a semicircular piece of paper that is rolled into a cone shape before adding a brim and personalizing touches. Both methods suggest allowing any glue or tape to fully dry before wearing the completed paper hat.

    How to Make a Paper Hat?

    Method 1:
    Step 1

    Get the sheets ready

    Make a crease in the center of a square or rectangular piece of paper. Fold the paper in half along its
    length (hotdog style). Unfold the paper after running your fingertip down the crease to loosen it. In a
    subsequent step, you will make use of this crease as a guide. The finest material to use is a piece of
    newspaper measuring around 29 12 by 23 12 inches (75 by 60 cm), but you can also use a sheet of
    printer paper to build a hat that is suitable for a smaller doll.

    Step 2:

    Fold the paper

    Make sure you fold the paper in half across the width. After you have brought the paper's thin ends
    together, flatten it out (hamburger style). To fine-tune the point, run your fingernail down the crease
    with your finger. Avoid unfolding the paper in any way.

    Step 3:

    Further folding

    Fold the top corners in toward the fold in the middle of the paper. Turn the paper over so that the
    edge that was folded in is running along the top of the sheet. The upper left and right corners of the
    paper should be folded to meet the crease that runs vertically down the center of the sheet. In the
    end, you will have the form of a home.

    Step 4:

    Make the borders and margins

    One of the flaps that run along the bottom margin should be folded upward. Along the bottom
    border of the home form that you have created, there are two layers or "flaps" of paper. Take the
    top flap and fold it up into the uppermost position. It is important that the new crease that you
    make along the bottom border of the paper is parallel to the bottom edges of the triangles.

    Step 5:

    Set the brim according to your size

    If the brim is too broad for your head, you may fold it inwards. When you unfold the brim, you'll see
    a crease in it. After you have brought the bottom edge up to this crease, fold the brim back up as you
    did in the step before this one. It is totally up to you and your own preferences to decide how broad
    you want the brim to be. The majority of individuals like to keep it between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 and
    5.1 cm).
    Step 6:

    Fix the brim

    The paper should be flipped over and the second flap should also be folded up. When you first
    folded the brim, see whether you fold it twice, if so, you should fold it twice when you do it again.

    Step 7:

    Set the hat with tape or glue

    If you so want, tape the four corners of the brim. You do not need to do this, but doing so will result
    in a more attractive finish for your hat. To keep the side corners of the brim from coming apart,
    secure them with strips of tape that have been wrapped around them. You may also use glue
    instead, but you need to wait for it to cure first.

    If you want your hat to appear like an alpine hat, tuck the corners of the brim down behind the band
    so that it forms a triangle. Attach the brim's edges to the crown of the hat using glue.

    Step 8:

    The final step

    To put the hat on, you need to unlatch the bottom of it. Wear the hat such that the points of the
    triangle are covering your ears to get a Peter Pan or alpine image. Wear the hat so that the
    triangular sections are over your forehead instead for an appearance that is reminiscent of a bicorn
    or a pirate.

    Method 2:
    Step 1:

    Select the papers according to the given measurements

    Select a sheet of paper that is double the height of the hat you want to create. To make a hat that is
    12 inches (30 cm) tall, you'll need a piece of paper that is at least 24 inches (61 cm) in height. Select
    a hue that complements the form of the hat you want to create. A medieval princess may wear a
    pink cone-shaped hat, while a witch might choose a black one.

    Smaller hats may be made using construction paper or scrapbooking paper. Use poster paper if you
    want to build a large hat, like a witch's or a princess's.

    Step 2:

    Draw the circle and a semi circle

    Create a half-circle. A plate, compass, or pencil on a thread may be used. The circle should be double
    the hat's height. The circle should be 24 inches (61 cm) broad for a 12-inch (30 cm) princess hat.

    Draw a circle on one paper edge. This ensures a straight edge.


    Step 3:

    Cut the semicircle

    Scissor the semicircle. Using paint, markers, stamps, or stickers, adorn plain paper. Do not add
    anything too big yet. Give the paint time to dry.

    Step 4:

    Roll and attach

    Roll and fasten the paper cone. Curl and overlap the paper's straight edges to form a cone. More
    overlap narrows the cone. After measuring, tape, staple, or glue the seam.

    Step 5:

    Use glue to make the brim

    Glue a brim on a witch's hat. Trace around the cone's base. Trace the circle to produce a broader
    brim. First, cut the larger circle. Tape or glue your cone's brim.

    You may use hot glue or tape on the interior of the cone so it's not visible.

    Step 6:

    Use elastic if needed

    If necessary, staple an elastic string to the hat's bottom. Cut an elastic long enough to wrap around
    your chin plus 2 inches (5.1 cm). Knot each end of the elastic and staple it to the hat. Knot the staple.

    Step 7:

    Personalize it with your creativity

    Give your hat some personal touch. It's limitless. Gluing objects to your headgear changes its
    appearance. Hot glue works best, but you may also use sticky glue.

    Step 8:

    Give the final touch and let it dry

    Don't put on the hat until it's completely dried. The amount of time required for this to occur is
    variable based on the glue used. Cold glue might take many hours to dry, whereas hot glue is ready
    to use in minutes. After the adhesive has dried, you may put on your new hat.
