How to Fold a Paper Pirate Hat

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Tuesday, July/02/2024

1). Fold your newspaper in half so that just the first page is visible. You should be able to see the entire first page.
2). Turn the paper so that the long side is horizontal. Fold down the two top corners so that they reach within 2 inches of the bottom of the paper and their sides meet in the middle. You should have a large triangle with a band or flap along the bottom.
3). Fold up the top sheet of the flap. Fold the other side of the flap up toward the other side of the hat.
4). Fold the entire hat in the middle on a line going from the point of the triangle down to the bottom of the hat. Re-open the fold. Your hat should have what appears to be two sections, one of which can hang downward when placed on the head.
5). Place the hat on your head, one side of the triangle facing forward. Mold the crown a little with your hands so that it partially takes the shape of your head. Push the other part of the hat--the part beyond the fold--a little downward so that it sort of covers the back of your neck.
