How to make a Pirate Hat from newspaper




For anyone organising a Pirate Party on a tight budget, this is a great activity to do with the children, and not only provides everyone with something to wear - it also provides an activity for them to do as well!
All you need is a sheet of newspaper for each child! The hats can be decorated or painted afterwards or just left plain.


Step 1 - Start with an oblong piece of paper (a sheet of newspaper is an ideal size).

Step 2 - Fold the Sheet of paper in half from top to bottom.

Step 3 - Fold the top corners down towards the centre of the page.

Step 4 - Your paper should look like this.

Step 5 - Lift the front bottom flap and fold it up.
Step 6 - Flip the paper over, then lift the bottom flap and fold it up

Your Pirate Hat is now complete!!
