| Text | This is an elementary hat folding that is a little out of the ordinary.
1. Take a rectangular sheet, hold it in a vertical position; A4 paper is perfect, but a double sheet of newspaper gives a good size. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the top edge down to the bottom edge. Mark the fold. We obtain a new rectangle whose width is half that of the initial rectangle. The upper edge is double, the other three edges are made up of two free thicknesses. 3. Fold the two layers of the upper edge in the valley downwards, so as to obtain a fold approximately 1 to 2 cm high. There is no landmark. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. We have a rectangle of double thickness except at the top where there is a strip of quadruple thickness. 5. Form a valley fold by bringing the left edge over the right edge. We thus obtain two flaps of double thickness, linked by a hinge edge on their left. 6. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the front flap to the left vertical edge (45° fold). This operation folds the front right edge horizontally. There remains a margin between this folded edge and the lower edge of the front flap. 7. Flip the fold from right to left. 8. Form a valley fold by bringing the upper edge of the front flap from top to bottom on the right edge (45° fold). This operation folds the left edge of the front flap horizontally. There remains a margin between this folded edge and the lower edge of the rear flap. 9. Open the folding by bringing the rear flap from left to right. We obtain a symmetrical shape with 5 sides, having a point upwards. This form is made up of three parts: o a rear flap of double thickness with two edges forming the sides of the point, two small free edges and a large free edge, o two triangular flaps of double thickness, one side being common to one of the sides of the tip, a second vertical side being glued to the counterpart side of the other triangular flap and a third horizontal side formed of two free thicknesses. The long side and the two short sides of the rear flap and the two horizontal sides of the triangular flaps form a rectangle whose lower side is formed of two free thicknesses. 10. Valley fold the long lower front side along both horizontal sides. 11. Flip the fold from right to left. 12. Form a valley fold by bringing, from bottom to top, the long lower front side. The new fold is aligned with the fold of step 8. We obtain a quadruple thickness tip whose bottom is trapped on the two sides that we have just raised.<:i> 13. Form a valley fold by bringing the lower left point of the triangle from left to right on its median, through all the thicknesses. 14. Repeat the fold of step 13 on the lower right point. The two folded points must be at the same height on the median.<:i> 15. Slide the points which are on the median under the strips which run along this median. 16. Return the fold. 17. Locate the middle of the bottom edge of the hat by pinching it. 18. Form a valley fold by bringing, from top to bottom, the tip of the fold to the midpoint. Mark the fold well. 19. Slide the tip under the lower horizontal strip. 20. Flip the fold from right to left. We have the turban in our hands. A sheet of newspaper makes a turban with just enough opening to accommodate an average-sized head.<:i> |
