The image of a Soviet painter is invariably associated with the majority of his headdress made from an ordinary newspaper. The paper cap is lightweight, easy to manufacture and easy to use.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a large rectangular piece of paper - about the size of a newspaper spread. It can be a drawing paper or a large sheet of gift paper.
Step 2
Fold the sheet in half on the larger side (the newspaper sheet already has the desired fold in the middle).
Step 3
Place the folded sheet in front of you with the fold on top. Fold the top corners of the sheet towards the center. If you connect the corners in the center, you end up with a budenovka-style peaked cap. To make the product more like a military or pioneer cap, bend the corners by about a third of the width of the sheet. The folded corners should not extend to the bottom edge of the sheet.
Step 4
Fold the bottom edge of the top sheet upward, covering the corners bent in the previous step. Turn the sheet over and repeat the same on the other side of the workpiece.
Step 5
Fold two corners on each side towards you. Origami art does not involve the use of glue, but if you want a practical piece, you can glue the corners to the base.
Step 6
You can leave the cap as it is, but to make the construction more durable, take a few more steps to work. Fold the cap in half and pull on the center vertical line, spreading it out so that the folded bottom corners cover each other.
Step 7
Now fold the bottom corner up and do the same on the other side. Pull these places in different directions and spread the cap.
Step 8
The principle of folding such a headdress can be useful in the manufacture of children's carnival costumes, for protection from the hot sun, during repair work. This is also a good budget option when you need to make the same elements of costumes for the whole team (KVN, various competitions).
