description Newspaper Hat Overview
Newspaper Hat is a traditional paper-folding model made from a rectangular sheet, usually a newspaper or another large piece of paper. A basic version folds the sheet in half, brings the upper corners toward the center, and folds the lower flaps upward to form a wearable cap; the construction needs no glue, tape, or scissors. It is used as a beginner origami or paper-craft exercise and as a temporary play or costume accessory, not as protective headwear. [Origami instructions](https://origamijapan.net/hat-type-2/)
