Elf and Emperor made these Colonial hats with some paper and clear tape. We got the directions from our second-grade social studies unit on how people dressed during Colonial times. The teachers' manual was unclear in that it did not have a cut-out pattern or size specification for the boys' hats. We just guessed, so the hats wound up a little small. These were fun to make and relatively easy to do. As you can see, it's just a triangle in the middle surrounded by three folded boat-shapes. I stapled the corners together so that the hat would stay tri-cornered.

ReplyDeleteThanks! It's just in time for Purim, and the villian of the story supposedly wore a three-cornered hat!
ReplyDeleteHaman had a tri-cornered hat?? Oh, I didn't know that! I remember seeing Haman with one of those on in the Hannah-Barbara series and thinking that those came out later.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Purim! It sounds like a really cool holiday to celebrate. Esther is one of my favourite Bible books. :]
Thanks for posting the photo. We had similar instructions from our online school, but no good picture of how it should turn out. Your pictures helped!
