How to fold an origami easy sun hat

Flatten a diamond into a long, wide brim, then pleat the top so the round crown sits up behind it.

You need: 1 square sheet, straw yellow on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Flat bottom. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the bottom corner behind, just below the side corners.
  2. Top behind. Fold the top corner behind along a line just above the side corners.
  3. Crown up. Behind, fold the corner back up a little lower so it pops up over the brim. That's the crown.
  4. Flat top. Fold the point of the crown behind.
  5. Round the crown. Fold the two top corners of the crown behind on short slants.

Summer ready!

Draw a ribbon round the bottom of the crown and add a little flower. Pop it on a paper doll for a beach day.
