Newspaper Pirate's Hat




Newspaper hats are an easy craft that your children will enjoy. If you live in an area where you get a local paper delivered for free each week, it wont cost you a penny either!

You will need:

A newspaper
Pens/embellishments (optional)

You will need one sheet of newpaper to make a hat.

Place the sheet of newspaper on its side so the longest edges are vertical and the shortest edges are horizontal. Fold the sheet in half along the existing fold (the folded edge will be along the top).

Fold the newspaper from right to left and then unfold it again, to make a crease down the centre.
