Как сделать шапочку из фольги инструкция

Things You Should Know

• Make a classic tin foil hat by folding a piece of tin foil in half lengthwise and wrapping it around your head.
• Make a tinfoil cowboy hat by placing a piece of tin foil directly over your head and molding the center to your crown. Then, shape the brim with scissors.
• Make a tinfoil boat hat by folding and tucking a piece of tin foil into a diamond shape. Then, fold the bottom flaps of the diamond up and shape the hat to your head.

1. 

   1

   Cut a 36 to 40 in (91 to 102 cm) piece of tin foil. Pull on the tin or aluminum foil roll until it roughly covers the width of your table or workspace. Use the perforated edge of the foil box to rip the foil.^[1]
   

   • If your foil box doesn’t have a perforated edge, use scissors to cut it from the roll.

2. 

   2

   Fold the piece of tin foil in half lengthwise. Take the top edge and bring it down towards the bottom until the edges match up. Press along the crease to hold the fold in place.^[2]

   Wrap the folded tin foil around your head. Hold the tin foil to your head just above your brows with the folded crease facing down—this will act as the rim of your hat.^[3]

   Mold the tin foil around your head.^[4]
   Use your hands to bend and shape the tin foil to the size of your head. Press the foil above your head down for a flat cap, or scrunch and squeeze it together to make a cone-like funnel shape.

   • If you don’t have enough tin foil to work with, add another piece of foil to your hat as you shape it.^[5]

   Use scissors to cut a 40 to 60 in (100 to 150 cm) piece of tin foil. Your measurements don’t have to be exact.^[6]
   Scissors help you get a clean line, but you can also use the perforated edge on the tin foil box to rip the foil from the roll.

2. 

   2

   Fold the piece of tin foil in half. Bring the left side of the tin foil over to the right side. Line up the edges, and run a finger or hand along the crease.^[7]
   

3. 

   3

   Put the foil over your head and press down. Use your hands to mold the foil around your head. Curl up the edges around your face to resemble a large brimmed hat.^[8]
   

   • The edges and shape won’t be perfect, and that’s okay. This gives you a rough outline of what your cowboy hat will look like.
   • If you don’t want to press the foil while it’s on your head, drape the foil over a large bowl.^[9]

   Flatten out the edges of the hat. Take the tin foil hat off your head and place it on a flat surface. Use your hands to press the wrinkles out of the foil that’s not domed.^[10]
   

5. 

   5

   Trim the foil edges to match the style of cowboy hat you want. Use scissors to carefully cut an oval around the dome to create the brim of your hat. Bend and shape the foil while you cut, curving the edge of the foil upwards for that classic cowboy look.^[11]
   

   • The closer to the dome you cut, the smaller your hat’s rim will be.
   • Some cowboy hats are flatter, while others are more curled, so pick what you like and roll with it!

6.

   Put on the hat and make any final adjustments. Squeeze the dome of the hat together if the hat’s too big, or bend in the sides of the hat for a curvier brim. Use these last adjustments to make your tin foil cowboy hat worthy for the ranch.^[12]

   1

   Rip a 36 to 40 in (91 to 102 cm) piece of tin foil from the roll. Use the sharp edge of the tin foil box to tear the tin foil away from the roll.

   • Play around with how much tin foil you use. If your piece of foil is smaller, you’ll have a smaller hat. If your piece is bigger, you’ll have a bigger hat.

2. 

   2

   Fold the piece of foil in half widthwise. Bring the left end of the foil over to the right, matching up the edges to make a smaller rectangle. Use your hands to flatten out the foil and secure the crease.^[13]
   

3. 

   3

   Fold the foil widthwise again. Take the left edge and bring it to the right edge as you did before, creating an even smaller rectangle. Press your hand or fingers along the crease to indent the foil.^[14]
   

4. 

   4

   Open the foil and bring the corners into the center crease. Peel back your previous fold so that the foil’s only folded in half once—a middle crease will be left behind. Take the upper right-hand corner of the foil and fold it ¾ of the way down towards the center along the crease. This will create a triangle. Do the same with the left corner, bringing the edge to meet the other triangle’s edge.^[15]
   

   • Think of it like making a paper boat, except with tin or aluminum foil.

5. 

   5

   Bring the top flap over the triangle. Separate the bottom two ¼ pieces of tin foil. Fold the front flap up and over the triangle’s bottom edge. Press your fingers along the crease to keep the fold in place.^[16]
   

6. 

   6

   Flip the foil over and fold in the other flap. Take the remaining ¼ flap of foil and bring it up and over the triangle’s edge like you did before.^[17]
   

7. 

   7

   Tuck the edges of the foil into each other. Bring a corner piece of the right back side’s flap up and over the triangle’s edge, then under the front-facing flap. Take the right top flap and fold it up and over the folded flap. Repeat on the left side.^[18]
   

8.

   Open the foil and fold it in half to create a diamond. Turn the foil so the top point of the triangle is down. Pull the edges of the foil apart to form a small pouch. Fold the top point of the pouch to the bottom point in the opposite direction you opened the pouch.^[19]
   

   • If you open the pouch widthwise, fold inwards lengthwise.
   • If the point of the triangle goes in while you fold, push it back out by sliding a finger inside the pouch.^[20]
     

9.

   Fold the bottom flaps of the diamond up. Lift the top flap up and over to meet the points. Flip the foil over and repeat on the other side to form one thick triangle.^[21]
   

10. 

    10

    Reopen the pouch and pull out the outer flaps. Turn the foil around so the triangle’s top point faces down. Carefully pull the folds apart to create a pouch. Flatten the pouch to form a diamond. Then, gently pull the outer flaps or pockets out and down.^[22]

    Shape the boat onto your head. Place your boat on your head, and use your hands to shape it into the best shape and fit.^[23]
