Does anyone have any good hats?

Post by Poopcannon »

I'm looking for a good design for a hat to make for two friends' birthday. I already tried to do the flasher hat, but hadn't a clue what I was doing, so that didn't work out too well :P

I'm making a giant X-wing for one so I need to make something for the other, and she has a thing for hats, so voilá!

Haha they're brilliant! Thanks a milion lads!

I just folded the bush hat, and it didn't turn out too badly at all. I've still got to give the others a try though...

Any more? (yes, I am greedy :D )

Once you get Joan Sallas's book, this will help you figure out the correct paper size you need.... to fold each one of them :)

Hi everyone,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am baffled by step 7 of the bush hat, and was hoping someone could explain it to me. How is it possible to refold the bottom of the triangle as shown so that it becomes the arrowhead shape necessary to accomodate the length of the large flap?

Every time I try to fold it, it forces itself back into the squash's triangle, with the large flap emerging from underneath it, but in this configuration, it is impossible to fold back the left half of the vertical flap.

Anyone have a tip??

you should have something like this

then simply reverse the inner flap and fold along the red line like this

and finally flatten the model

Yeah, that's what I got, too. The problem is in the next step, trying to fold that vertical flap back, the lower triangle gets in the way of the squashed triangle. In the diagram, there's a sort of arrowhead shape in the squashed area, that allows the next step to happen, but I can't figure out how to get that.
