How to fold an origami pilgrim hat

A tall kite with its bottom point folded up. Fold up the bottom strip as the brim and the top behind so it's flat, then draw a buckle.

You need: 1 square sheet, black on one side, and a white pen. Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Crease the middle. Put the square white side up like a diamond. Fold the left corner to the right corner, crease, and unfold.
  2. Make a kite. Fold the two upper edges in to lie along the centre crease.
  3. Bottom point up. Fold the wide bottom point up onto the front, along the line between the side corners.
  4. Fold up the brim. Fold the bottom edge up a little way. The strip is wider than the hat above it, so it sticks out as the brim.
  5. Flat top. Fold the long point behind, about a third of the way down, so the hat has a flat top.

All aboard!

Draw a big white buckle just above the brim.
