Printers’ Hats

Task

You will need a large sheet of newspaper or plain paper. It will have to be about 72 x 58 cm to fit your head. If you only have a smaller piece of paper you can try the ideas anyway.

  • Stop and start the video and follow the steps to make your hat.
  • You could experiment with painting the paper with stripes or other designs.
  • If you have a spare hat, unfold it to look at the creases. You will see squares and right-angled triangles. Many of the triangles are bisected by folding to make two congruent triangles.
