Newspaper Hats
Newspaper hats have been around since Grandpa was a boy -- and even before that. Why not try your hand at making one? All it takes is a few simple folds and some pieces of tape.
Whether you're making a pirate hat or unique fashion statement, gather up your old newspapers and have some old-fashioned fun.
What You'll Need
Newspaper
Transparent tape
Trims (such as pom-poms or tissue paper fringe)
How to Make a Newspaper Hat
Step 1: To make a basic newspaper hat, fold one newspaper page in half horizontally. (If you want to make a large hat, use two newspaper pages, and fold it in half vertically.)
 |
With the fold at the top, fold the top corners in to the center. Tape the points down.
Step 2: Fold up the bottom edges.
 |
Step 3: Tuck in the corner edges and add tape to hold them in place.

If you want, trim your hat with pom-poms or tissue paper fringe. Put your hat on and wear it with the points at the front and back or to the side.
