A sun hat with a wide brim that protects your head from the sunlight.
This time, we’re introducing a sun hat–style hat made out of construction paper.
Cut the construction paper into a circle, draw another circle in the center, and cut it into triangular sections.
Stand the triangular pieces up and attach shapes like hearts or stars made from construction paper to the tips.
For the brim, feel free to add construction paper cut into flower or leaf shapes.
It creates a refreshing, tropical vibe with sunshine pouring down.
Of course, you can decorate the sun hat with anything you like.
Vehicles like cars or airplanes, or animals like rabbits or bears could be fun, too.
Why not customize it and create a piece with your own originality?
visor
https://www.tiktok.com/@zzt14093nvl/video/7237880454148574507A visor creates shade with its brim to protect you from the sun.
Unlike a regular hat, it has no top.
That’s why people with long hair like visors—they can style their hair freely while wearing one.
They’re also praised for good breathability.
You can even make a visor out of construction paper.
Roll a strip of construction paper into a tube.
Use that tube to sketch the shape of the brim.
By sketching with the tube, you can make a brim that fits the hat size perfectly.
Attach the brim to the paper tube, and it’s done.
If you like, you can make paper flowers to stick on or draw illustrations to create a lovely finished piece.
Rabbit hat

Here’s a hat we’d love for you to make for kids’ gatherings or family events.
You can whip it up quickly with just one sheet of construction paper.
It’s also great for pretend play or group activities when you want to create a fun atmosphere with hats.
Fold the construction paper in half, then fold both sides into triangles.
Tape down the triangular folds with cellophane tape, and attach a loop of rubber bands.
After that, add ears and your bunny hat is complete.
By changing the color of the paper and the facial features, you can make all kinds of animals.
Try making your favorite animal!

pirate hat

Thanks to the popularity of pirate-themed anime, pirates are familiar to people of all ages.
So let’s make a pirate hat that parents and children—or even grandparents and grandchildren—can enjoy wearing together.
Fold a quarter-size sheet of construction paper in half, then cut the tip on the side opposite the crease.
The part you cut off at the tip will become the hat’s brim.
For a stylish touch, cut it into a wavy shape.
Fold and shape it so it becomes a three-dimensional hat.
Add decorations like a skull or feathers, and it’s complete.
Pirates may have a scary image, but wearing this hat creates a friendly, cheerful atmosphere.
chonmage hat

A chonmage hairstyle with both sides shaved and the hair tied in the center looks gallant.
In the Edo period, it’s said that children would tie their hair in a chonmage at age 15 as a coming-of-age ritual.
Today, kids with a chonmage look charming, don’t they? Let’s make a cute-looking chonmage hat out of construction paper.
Make a loop with black construction paper and attach rectangular pieces of yellow or pale orange paper.
Then add more black paper to assemble it.
Roll up black paper to form the topknot, place it on top, and you’re done.
This chonmage hat is great for kids at home and also recommended for adults to use at parties.
Wolf hat

Speaking of stories with wolves, there are ones like “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” and “Little Red Riding Hood,” right? Here’s a perfect hat for pretend play featuring a wolf.
We’ll make a bold hat from construction paper that forms the wolf’s face.
The key is to use brown and white sheets back-to-back.
This way, the eye and nose area folds in brown, while the mouth area folds in white.
Once you’ve folded the face, cut the teeth into a jagged shape.
Of course, you can make the teeth from the white part of the paper.
Attach the eyes and an elastic band, and you’re done.
Wearing the wolf hat during tag would make things extra exciting, too!
Donald’s hat

Donald Duck is one of Disney’s most popular characters.
He’s adorable in his nautical outfit with a blue hat and blue clothes.
Let’s make a hat like Donald’s using construction paper.
Prepare blue or light blue construction paper cut into a circle and a rectangle.
Add a black stripe to the rectangular piece using construction paper.
Combine the two pieces and attach a ribbon to finish.
On the rectangular piece, make a slit on the side opposite the black stripe; this will make it easier to attach to the circular piece.
With this, you can enjoy Disney character pretend play right at home.
