Then you definitely need to learn how to make a cylinder hat out of paper. Of course, plain paper will not work for this job. The material should be denser, it is better to use cardboard.
What else is needed for this job:
- the main material (cardboard) is selected according to the theme of the future costume;
- pencil for making marks;
- adhesive tape;
- fleece;
- To create a beautiful shimmer, use varnish and a wide brush.
Before you make a paper hat with your own hands according to the instructions, you need to prepare for the upcoming work. It is impossible to make a top hat without measurements, of course, unless it is a miniature hat to decorate your hairstyle.
You are required to:
- measure the circumference of the child’s head with a sewing meter;
- think about what height of the finished product you need; making a very high cylinder is not recommended, it can cause discomfort when worn.
Now we’ll explain step by step how to make a paper hat with your own hands:

Small elegant top hat for girls
The following site instructions will tell you how to make a paper hat that will decorate any holiday outfit. It is attached to the hairstyle using hairpins or a hoop. This accessory can be used not only by children, but also by adult girls. Such mini cylinders can be a good solution for photo shoots.
Prepare before work:
- thick cardboard;
- glue stick and gun;
- ruler;
- corrugated paper;
- paper for working using the quilling method;
- braid;
- scissors.
Before manufacturing, as in the previous version of the cylinder, we need to decide on the dimensions. There is no need to measure the circumference of the child’s head; the work can be done “by eye”. For those who are engaged in such creativity for the first time, we recommend using standard sizes; we will indicate them during the work.
And now the instructions on how to make a miniature paper hat:
Externally, the cylinder may seem ready. It needs to be decorated. We use corrugated paper and quilling techniques. After practice, you can indulge in fantasy.
(Step 3) - We cut out a circle from paper, it should be smaller than the base, and apply it to the cap. We wrap the excess part inside and secure it with core glue. We decorate the top of the mini cylinder with braid;
- We make flowers. Use paper that matches the color of the hat. Use a special stick to twist the strips. Form flowers. Use the same principle to make the leaves. Glue the resulting products to the cylinder.
- To prevent the finished accessory from falling off your head, attach it to a hoop, you can use an elastic band or braid.
This is just an example of work, you can make the product any way you want, with larger or smaller margins and decorated as you wish
Cap in technology
So, you have already learned how to make a hat from painting paper, how to make a carnival top hat. Now let's look at another product that is made using the origami technique - this is a cap.
Such a thing is indispensable both when relaxing in nature and in the country while working under the scorching sun, and children will simply be delighted with such an attribute.
There are several manufacturing options. We will look at each of them.
Classic cap
Let's start with the classic model. For work you will need a square sheet, preferably with a large size. Let's start adding:
- Fold the square into a triangle. We do this at an angle of 45 degrees.
- We turn the workpiece over to face itself with the wide part. Fold the corner located at the top downwards of the formed figure.
- Now the folded corner needs to be raised. Elements located on the sides must be placed on top of each other and pressed to the top of the product. The resulting figure should remind you of a trapezoid.
- Lower one of the parts that is located at the top of the corner side and tuck it under the previously folded layers. Press the workpiece as hard as possible to ensure everything is securely fastened.
- Turn the product over. We fold the remaining part of the corner downwards. We unfold the workpiece from top to bottom. Open the product so that the inside of the cap appears.
- Gently press on the sides of the product to give them shape. We lay the parts on top so that the outline of the cap appears. The corners should “look” at each other.
- At the final stage you need to make a visor. First, fold it up. Then return to the starting position. When performing these steps, leave a few centimeters from the folded line.
Perhaps the instructions on how to make a paper hat using this principle will seem complicated. Not everyone is able to design a product the first time, because the origami technique requires practice. But we are sure that already the second time, you will get an excellent cap, which will take you a few minutes to create in the future.
Square cap
Do you want not just a paper hat, but an original cap? There is nothing simpler, let's design a square cap model. What should be done:
- take a sheet of paper, maybe a newspaper;
- fold the sheet to form a triangle, cut off the excess;
- unfold the resulting figure, you should have a line passing through the square;
- fold the workpiece, on the other hand, for the second fold line;
- turn the product upside down;
- We lay each corner downwards;
- turn the product over and repeat the steps;
- if everything was done correctly, you should have a visor, fold it up;
- The last thing you need to do is fold the corners and secure the shape of the cap.
Nothing complicated. Now you are the happy owner of not a simple, but a homemade paper cap. Using this pattern, even children can be taught to make hats. They will definitely like this kind of work.

The materials required for the work are indicated above. With their help, we will begin to create magic, creating masterpieces with our own hands.
Step-by-step diagram for making a pirate hat with your own hands:
| № | Actions | Detailed description |
| 1 | Preparing the frame: the base | We cut out a strip of cardboard, the width of which corresponds to the width of the head circumference. We select the height from 10 to 17 cm. We round it and glue it together. We close the space on top with a circle cut to size. It can be traced directly along the contour of the frame. We secure it with tape from the inside, capturing both the sides and the top. |
| 2 | Cut out the side brims of the hat and the back | We leave room for a bend under the frame of the hat, draw two side lines on the cardboard, and one back. The sides should cover more than a third of the hat's circumference, and the back should be cut to a much smaller size. Draw the long part. We try it on and cut out the side fields according to its template. The back of the brim is cut separately |
| 3 | Attaching fields | We bend the frame slightly so that it is elongated. We attach the fields on the sides so that they connect in front, forming an acute angle. At the bottom, the fields are folded and bent downwards, under the circumference of the frame |
| 4 | Glue the tape in the middle | We tie it around the frame. For the pirated version, choose black tape |
Important! This option looks good if all the elements are made of thick fabric. It can be sealed with non-woven fabric. Frame the edges and stitch them using a sewing machine.
The view will be completely different. The cardboard version is good for kindergarten age children. If you are planning a serious costume for schoolchildren or for a corporate event, make the work from fabric.
Musketeer hat: diagram and step-by-step instructions
The musketeers' hat is prepared in a similar way. It has its own feature - round fields.
Making a musketeers hat:
- We cut out the fields: we make a round template with a hole of the same shape in the center, the diameter of which corresponds to the size of the head.
- We cover it with beautiful material.
- We attach the walls: the height of the walls is up to 25 cm. Otherwise, a cylinder will come out.
- The walls are sheathed with the same material.
- It is enough to sew a circle of fabric on top. You can fix the cardboard there and then cover it with fabric.
- We carry out decorative work: insert a feather, sew a ribbon or strip along the rim.
- We bend the fields. The hat is ready!
Paper cowboy hat: pattern
The cowboy hat is made of brown paper. If you use sheathing, the paper can be any color as the base.
And the material is selected to match the suit. Traditionally it is a brown, yellow or reddish tint.
Making a cowboy hat:
- We cut out a circle from paper, following the principle of making a musketeer's hat. But we make the margins twice as small: 5–8 cm is enough.
- We cover it with fabric.
- We make the frame according to the usual scheme. Let's join.
- The cowboy's hat is slightly narrowed at the top: we cut off two narrow triangles from the top of the frame to the middle, and connect the connectors with tape. The top is tapered.
- We cover the frame and make the upper part out of cardboard.
- We bend the top cardboard in the middle to give the product its shape.
Important! To create a real cowboy hat, use brown suede material.
The lining is the main visible part of the product; it is its type that determines how successful your work is.
It's good to use a cowboy star as decoration. Be sure to tie it with ribbon.
The art of making objects from paper is called origami.
You can master the basics and learn how to make different types from simple paper: flip-flops, caps, Dunno, Jack Sparrow, judge or witch headdress.
Products made from simple newspaper work well. Its volume is enough to make a headdress exactly the size of an adult’s head.

For summer, a relevant topic is how to make a hat from a newspaper, sew a Panama hat. It is very interesting to watch how to make a hat from newspaper tubes, plastic cups, wire and even branches.
How to sew a cap with your own hands?
This product is reusable; once you create it, you can use this headdress for several years. On the eve of the coming summer, this topic is very relevant. But you can sew a cap for cooler seasons. Then you will need to take a denser and warmer fabric.
The following master class with step-by-step photos will teach you this interesting activity.
This cap is eight-piece. You must first calculate the size of one wedge, and then create the rest from it. This baseball cap is of the gavroche type.
As you can see, a pattern is given for one of the wedges, a visor and a band for it. For convenience, these parts are laid out on a ruler so that you have an idea of their sizes. The arrows show the direction of the lobar. Print these blanks in full size and attach them to the fabric from which you will sew. It is necessary to cut with seam allowances not only from this fabric, but also from the lining fabric. You can wear this cap in spring, autumn or cool summer evenings.
If you do not need a warm cap, then you can sew it from thick fabric with a thin lining material.
If you have soft fabric, then make it more dense by attaching an adhesive backing. Then the product will keep its shape well. Apply the adhesive pad with a hot iron. If you are sewing a cap with a lining, then you need to fold these two parts, and then connect them with the same two. Sew the wedges together to create half a gavroche cap.
Using the same principle, create the second half of the headdress. Trim off the corners of the seam allowance at the top of the cap so there is no thickening there. Now smooth the seams, press them.
Here's how to sew an eight-piece cap next. Place the two parts of the visor right sides together, after attaching the adhesive fabric here. Topstitch to the edge and trim off the excess to create a 5mm seam.
Press the seam and place the sealant inside the visor. You can buy it at a sewing store, they sell special visors for caps. You can also cut this part out of plastic or from a stationery folder. Now you need to cut out the band and sew it. Place this part as it is located in the following photo.
You see that you need to place the seam at the back, and in front, using it as a guide, make markings. You also need to find the middle of the visor. Match these parts and stitch them together. Fold the band over to fold it in half.
Secure it in this position by sewing large stitches by hand. Here's how to further sew the eight-piece, the pattern of which is located above. Sew the band up to the top of the headdress.
Place the button inside and secure the edges of the fabric on the inside. Do not remove the threads from the needle, but sew this decorative fabric into the center of the headdress.
The lining for the cap must be sewn separately and connected to the main part. Now sew the cap with the lining and band, but leave a small space unsewn through which you turn the product inside out. Do this and sew up the resulting drawstring on your hands.
All that remains is to make a decorative button. To do this, cut a circle of fabric twice as large as it and assemble it with a thread and a needle.
This is how an eight-piece cap is created, which is very fashionable. The main thing is to do everything carefully and slowly.
The following master class is suitable for true fashionistas.
How to sew a hat - master class
The pattern of a women's hat will help you make this headdress as accurate as possible.
These drawings already have 1 cm seam allowances, so you won't need to make them. The sides must be stitched together and the seams ironed.
Place the outer and inner edges right sides together and topstitch the outer edges. Turn the hat blank right side out, grind the edge, and then iron it. Make parallel lines 1cm apart.
Now you need to sew up the back section of the crown and sew down the section of the lining, leaving a space of 7 cm unsewn. Through this you turn the panama inside out.
Next you need to sew the bottom to the crown, and stitch the bottom lining to the crown lining. Press the seams, place all the pieces right sides together and place the margins between them, aligning the edges.
Now you need to turn the headdress through the hole and hem the folds by hand using a blind seam. All that remains is to make decorative stitches, and the beautiful brimmed hat is ready.
If you need a fashionable ladies' hat, then the following master class will help.
Download the pattern.
To get accurate dimensions, it is better to draw it using cells.
Each side of such a cell is 5 cm. Redraw the pattern and cut out a blank from the main fabric along it. If the fabric is thin, then it will be necessary to cut out the same parts from the adhesive fabric and lining material. Use a hot iron to attach the adhesive dublerin to the wrong side of the main fabric. Now fold this double blank with the lining so that these materials are in contact with the right sides. Topstitch to the edge, leaving a small unstitched space at the back through which you will need to turn the hat right side out. You will then sew it up by machine as you stitch the brim of the hat along the edge.
Such a women's hat is put on the head, then you need to thread each strap into the opposite hole and tighten it.
To process the holes, you need to place a square of thick fabric on the wrong side and sew on a machine, as when you overcast buttonholes.
How to make a hat from newspaper tubes?
Even from this material you can create a chic hat for the summer. See how it's done. First you need to prepare the following:
- newspapers;
- knitting needle;
- scissors;
- clothespins;
- glue;
- a vessel of suitable shape;
- cardboard circle;
- paint;
- headdress decorations.
Now you need to wind each one onto a knitting needle. The thinner the knitting needle, the more elegant the final product will be. But usually it is difficult for beginners to use a thin knitting needle right away, so it is better to practice first.
Attach this tool to the corner of the newspaper tube and begin to wrap the paper around the metal.
You will need to glue the remaining corner with PVA glue and begin making the second newspaper tube. Now you can move on to weaving.
Place the newspaper tubes on a circle of cardboard, placing four of them perpendicular to each other in the form of a simple pattern like this.
Secure the newspaper tubes by attaching them to the cardboard base with clothespins. Now start weaving the hat. To do this, you need to insert one tube between the main ones, fix it in the same way and braid it in a circle.
When the working tube is almost finished, then insert the thin end into its thick end. This way you will attach other tubes.
Having made a small round bottom, spread the newspaper tubes in different directions so that they resemble the rays of the sun.
Take a semicircular bowl as a shape and place it as shown in the photo. Braid this piece to make a round hat.
Now you need to remove the bowl and re-attach the ends of the newspaper tubes to the cardboard blank.
To make the hat further, weave the brim of this piece.
When they are the right size, you need to cut off the excess length of the tubes and glue the scraps of tubes to the base on the back side. The hat can be decorated with varnish. When it's dry, tie a satin bow here. You can also make flowers from ribbons and glue them onto your hat as a decoration. This is how you make a hat from newspaper tubes with your own hands.
And if you need to quickly make a headdress, then you can use the same material.
How to make a hat from a newspaper?
You can make a cap with a visor to protect yourself from the sun. This product will also come in handy during repairs.
- Fold a sheet of newspaper in half. Now fold the right and left corners down so that rectangular stripes are formed at the bottom.
- In the second stage, you will wrap them up, but in different directions. Fold the corners of these strips as shown in photos 3 and 4.
- Turn over the corner of the resulting workpiece, bend two small corners at the bottom. They need to be threaded into the resulting drawstring. Fold the top corner down.
- All you have to do is peel back the visor and rejoice at what a wonderful newspaper hat it turned out to be.
Also take a piece of newspaper paper and fold it in half. At the place of the folds, you need to bend the opposite corners down, and pull the lower strips slightly upward and bend the corners of each here.
You will end up with a triangular piece. Connect the opposite corners at the bottom and turn this semi-finished product with an angle towards you. Now you need to bend the corner closest and farthest from you upward and turn the workpiece again 90 degrees. Fold the corners again, turn the cap 90 degrees and you can try it on.
The paper samurai helmet also looks interesting. What it looks like is shown in the following photo.
The origami technique will help you create it. Cut a regular square with equal sides from the newspaper. Fold it diagonally, bend the corners towards the top so that you get a small square from this triangle.
Take the bottom corners of the front side and pull them towards the opposite corner. And the upper corners need to be bent outward to form “ears” that will protrude beyond the boundaries of this base.
A step-by-step diagram of this work will simplify the process of understanding. You can make such a hat not only from newspaper, but also from paper. Children will have fun playing samurai while wearing this headdress.
If such a hat made from newspaper seemed complicated to you, make an ordinary cap from this material. To do this, take a rectangular sheet of newspaper and fold it in half.
Now you need to bend the top corners and bring the corners to the corners. In this case, the parties will also fall on each other. The resulting side must be folded up twice.
Turn the future cap over and bend the strips on one side and the other towards you. The bottom edge needs to be turned towards you, unfolded and the corners of this part should be folded according to the basting.
Bend the bottom plane towards the top twice and close the folds you made earlier. All that remains is to turn your cap over and bend the top to the bottom and straighten it. Tuck this folded section in. All that remains is to straighten the product.
In conclusion, we suggest getting a dose of positivity and seeing how to make unusual headdresses.
Original hats
Looking at such hats, you can’t help but smile. Some of them can also be protected from the sun, while others will become participants in the competition. If you are expecting such an event, we suggest making an original hat with your own hands.
This one is made from:
- felt;
- fleece;
- padding polyester;
- hat elastic.
- Take a round shape, such as a plate, and place it on a piece of felt. Cut out this blank. To give the hat a slightly concave shape, wet felt with a spray bottle and place it on a concave surface, such as a bowl.
- Let the workpiece lie in this form overnight or for a day. It will dry and take the desired shape.
- Cloth food is also quite easy to make. Cut two rectangles from brown fleece, sew the ends of each, giving them a semicircular shape. On the other hand, leave these ovals unsewn for now in order to stuff padding polyester here. Now close the space on both sausages using freehand stitches.
- Fabric scrambled eggs are created from yellow and white fleece or drape. Make ham slices from pieces of felt of the same color. To give them the appropriate shape, also moisten them with water from a spray bottle and put them in a warm place overnight, after placing them on blanks of this shape.
- To make the beans in the sauce, take tan fleece and cut it into jagged circles of equal size. Roll small ovals from pieces of cotton wool or padding polyester that will turn into beans. Place the pieces between two rough circles of fleece and secure with a glue gun. This hot silicone will also help attach the bean to the hat. All that remains is to glue a hat elastic to it and surprise the audience with such an original headdress.
To make the following type of hat, you will need wire.
Roll a frame out of it, making letters from this material. You need to sew black ribbons onto a strip of white thick fabric so that they turn into the keys of a musical instrument.
The next original hat can also be made on the basis of wire or take ordinary branches for it. Attach them to a plastic hoop using wire. Now you need to sew a crow or rook from dark fabric and attach it to the branch in the same way.
You can also make another interesting headdress based on the hoop. Glue to it a lot of butterflies cut out of colored paper or printed on a color printer.
And if you need to hide from the sun on a warm summer day, then make one butterfly, but use cardboard or plastic for its base. These materials are covered with fabric or glued to it. Glue pieces of fur or feathers into the center of the butterfly to create a fluffy body.
If you have a straw hat that is out of fashion, you can decorate it. Glue artificial moss, twigs, and fabric berries here. Decorate this picturesque picture with scraps of burlap.
And if you know how to make flowers from fabric, then make these, connect them and glue leaves of the same material next to them.
A hat made from plastic cups is no less original. They are glued together, and artificial flowers, such as daisies, are also attached inside with glue.
An artificial feather flower can decorate the following composition. For it you need to cut a wide strip of fabric and fold the 1st and 2nd large edges so that you can then insert the wire here. This flexible material will allow you to give the ribbon the desired shape of the cap. Glue or sew fabric butterflies here, and the flower will become a decoration for such a hat.
If you still want to make a familiar headdress, then watch a short master class that will teach you how to do this.
You need to take:
- cardboard;
- textile;
- lace or satin braid;
- filler;
- scissors;
- decoration items.
Place the filler of the required size on the top of the hat and glue a circle of cardboard to it, framing this blank with fabric.
You can use regular foam rubber as a filler. It will create the desired shape.
Cover the brim of the hat with fabric on both sides, and glue the top you just made on top. Using a glue gun, attach ribbons and fabric flowers to decorate the hat and hide where the two pieces meet.
