In order to construct the Origami Hat, you will need a rectangular piece of origami paper of the chosen color.
If you have a square piece, you can easily make a rectangle out of it, as shown in the first four photos below.
Measure about one-fourth of the square on its right side. Make the fold. It’s very important for the edges to match perfectly.
Iron the fold line and open the sheet again.
Cut off the narrow rectangle on the right, and you get the paper of the needed shape and size.
Now fold the rectangle in half.
Then fold the top corners towards the middle as shown in the photo below. Fold the corners as evenly as possible.
Take the bottom edge of the paper and fold it up.
Flip the paper over and fold the other edge up. Now unfold your origami hat and enjoy the result!
