How to Make a Paper Robin Hood Hat: Easy DIY Tutorial
Would you like to look just like Robin Hood? You can make his famous green hat with a feather.
You need one big sheet of green paper. Green like the trees in Sherwood Forest. You also need a feather, some tape or glue, and scissors.
First, roll the green paper into a cone shape. The pointy end goes up. Tape it so it stays rolled.
Next, fold up the flat bottom edge of the cone. This makes a little brim, like a hat has.
Then, ask a grown-up to help you cut a small slit near the top of the hat.
Now, slide the feather into the slit. Robin Hood always wears a feather in his hat.
Last, put the hat on your head. You are ready to pretend you are in Sherwood Forest with Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
