How Do You Make A Paper Sailor Hat?
This paper sailor hat is a classic kids’ project that’s fun and easy to make. It’s a great way to introduce kids to the art of paper folding and making a craft from recycled materials. For a more decorative paper sailor hat, you can use sheets of gift wrap. Many dollar stores sell inexpensive gift wrap in a variety of colors and patterns. Select a half sheet of newspaper, or cut packing paper or gift wrap to newspaper size (about 12 inches wide by 22 inches tall). When using newspaper, the comics page can be especially fun for kids. Place the paper on a table or flat surface with the narrow edge pointed toward you. If you’re using gift wrap or paper that is printed only on one side, place the paper on the table with the blank side facing up. Fold the paper in half from top to bottom. Crease the paper well. Fold the paper in half from side to side, crease it, then unfold it. This leaves a crease line in the center of the paper. Fold the upper corners of the paper down to meet the crease
