How to Make a Policeman Hat Out of Paper
- 1). Measure the circumference of your head using the flexible measuring tape.
- 2). Cut a rectangular band that is 1 1/2 inches high from the construction paper in a color of your choice using scissors. Make the length equal to the width of your head plus 1 inch. Bring the ends of the band together so they overlap by 1/2 inch. Staple the ends together. This is the base of the hat.
- 3). Draw half an oval 3 inches in length on construction paper. Add 2 square inches to the end of the oval. Cut out the shape. Fold the shape by the middle of the oval where the 2-inch addition starts.
- 4). Glue the oval shape to the rectangular band by gluing the 2-inch part to the band. This is the brim of the hat.
- 5). Draw a circle with a diameter that is half your head measurement plus 1 inch and cut out the circle. This will be the top of the hat.
- 6). Cut 1-by-1-inch tabs all around the circle and bend down the tabs. Glue the tabs to the inside of the rectangular band.
- 7). Print out a police insignia and glue it to the front of the hat above the brim.
