I think we all know how to make this simple paper hat, but we'll give a quick review. Take a 12 x 18 inch piece of paper and fold it in half. With the creased edge away from you, take the two upper corners and fold them down so that they meet at the exact center. Now fold the remaining flaps up, one on each side. Tuck in the remaining points and tape them. |

This sunbonnet is made from a paper bag. Cut out one long side. The bottom of the bag will be the back of the bonnet. Turn back the top of the bag to make the brim. Trim the brim with lacy paper doilies. Punch a hole in each side near the bottom and fasten a ribbon to tie in a bow under your chin. |

A crown is easy to make. Simply make a band of paper about 2 x 18 inches. Cut a saw-tooth edge on one long side of the strip. Staple the ends together so that the band will just fit around your head at the brow. Trim with sequins or bright bits of colored paper to look like jewels. |
| A square little hat can be made by cutting a paper bag about half-way down and folding up the edges to make the brim. Poke a long feather into the brim to top it off. |
