Newspaper Sailors Hats

We've all likely worn one of these newspaper hats on our heads at some point in our lives but I thought folks might appreciate a reminder on how they're made.

You can make a matching hat for your dolls with a sheet of printer paper (you can color the paper before you make the hat, if you like).

Materials:

• for small hat:  8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper
• for child sized hat:  1/2 sheet of newspaper
• Optional:  scotch tape

Instructions: Fold the paper (or the 1/2 sheet of newspaper) in half
Fold down each side to make triangles
Fold one bottom flaps up. Flip the hat over and fold the other bottom flap up. add a bit of scotch tape if you like
