This guide will show you how to make a paper jester’s hat that will fit you perfectly.

Difficulty level: Beginners

Instructions:

Materials:
Stiff colored paper
Scissors
Pen or pencil
Paper glue
Ruler
Bottle cap

Cut 2 ½ inches wide strips.
Glue enough of them together to go around your head.

Wrap the strip around your head and mark the place where it overlaps.

Measure the length of the strip until the mark – for the length that went around your head.

Divide the length you measured into 6. – This will be the width of each triangle base

Cut a piece of scrap paper 12 inches long and the width result you got in the last step

Measure 2 ½ inches from the end and draw a vertical line

Fold the paper in half lengthwise and unfold

Draw a straight line from the end of the fold to the each corner of the of the vertical line you made in step 5

Cut along the 2 slanted lines. This will be your template. See the next picture for the result.

Use the template to cut 6 pieces - 2 of each color

Place the strip with the mark on the right side.

Glue the first piece to the strip to the left side. It should be aligned to the side and bottom edge

Glue all the remaining pieces.
Your last piece should end at the line you marked in step2

Bring the sides around to make a circle and glue in place as shown in the picture

Result

Use a round object to curl the triangles downward.

Trace the outline of the bottle cap 6 times on gold or colored paper.
Cut out the circles.

Glue the circles to the ends of the triangles.

Press the triangles down along the rim if you like your hat to be more droopy.
