Instructions
Step 1
Caps are of different types, therefore, first of all, you need to decide what exactly you need a cap for. If it performs protective functions, then it is quite simple to make it. You can take a regular newspaper sheet and make a cap out of it. To do this, fold the sheet into a cone and secure the sharp part. The opposite side should be carefully trimmed to fit your head. This method is very easy and simple. But it must be borne in mind that a newsprint cap is not particularly durable, but you can make as many such caps as you like.
Step 2
If you need to make a hat for a doll, then this is also not difficult. Decide what material the cap will be made of. It is best to use a thick Whatman paper. In no case do not take cardboard, as the material should bend easily, but not break at the same time. Now you need to decide on the shape of the cap. The easiest way is to make it in the shape of a cone. To do this, bend a sheet of Whatman paper in the shape of a cone and glue the edge. Then line up the part that goes over the head. The blank for your cap is ready. Now you need to decorate this blank. You can glue it over with colored paper, or you can paint it with paints or felt-tip pens.
Step 3
But you may need to make a cap for yourself. There may be several options here as well. If you need a stargazer hat, you need to repeat the procedure for making the doll hat, taking into account the size of your head. You will also need to paint the cap dark and stick on small stars. Remember to attach the tassel to the sharp end of the hood. You can also make a cap with a quadrangular visor. The manufacturing process is somewhat more complicated. First you need to make a drawing. To do this, measure the diameter of your head. The hood will be in two parts. The first is a cylinder around the diameter of the head, and the second is a quadrangular visor.
Step 4
Make a drawing. It's very simple. The main thing is not to make large errors so that the cap is not crooked. According to the drawing, the workpiece should be cut. Glue the blanks carefully using PVA glue. However, do not rush to connect both blanks. Now you need to decide on the decoration of your cap. You can just paint it. However, it is best to cover the blanks with fabric. Choose a fabric that is not too thick, but not too thin. All seams should be hidden in the inner part, which no one can see. When both parts are covered in fabric, you should fasten them together. Now you need to let the cap dry. Attach a fringed tassel to one corner of the rectangular visor.
