How to fold an origami easy witch hat

A kite folded behind makes the tall cone, a pleat sits it on a wider brim, and the tip flops over like a real old witch hat.

You need: 1 square sheet, purple or black on one side. Easy, 5 steps, about 4 minutes.

Steps

  1. Kite behind. Put the square coloured side up like a diamond. Fold the two upper edges behind so they meet along the middle at the back.
  2. Flat bottom. Fold the short bottom point behind, so the hat stands on a straight edge.
  3. Cone behind. Fold the whole tall point behind along a line a little above the bottom edge.
  4. Cone up. Behind, fold the point back up a little lower so the cone stands on top. The wide strip at the bottom is the brim.
  5. Bend the tip. Fold the top of the cone over to the right on a slant, so the tip flops sideways.

Spooky!

Draw a dark band with a buckle just above the brim. Pop it on a paper witch or a pumpkin for Halloween.
