Project 1: Pirate Hat

1. Fold a large piece of black paper in half. Crease the fold well. Turn the paper so that the fold is at the top


2. Bend the paper over so that the short edges meet. Gently squeeze the middle to make a mark, then open it out again


3. Fold the top left hand corner down into the middle, then crease it flat. Then fold down the top right hand corner too


4. Fold up the top layer of the bottom of the hat. Then turn the hat over and fold the other layer in the same way


5. Cut a circle from white paper and draw a skull & crossed bones on it. The glue the circle onto the hat
