Here is a quick way to make last minute party hats for New Year's Eve. We made two different styles of newspaper hats.
Child's sized Newspaper Party Hat
Use a whole sheet of newspaper
Fold in half
Fold each of the top corners to the center
Fold top layer at bottom up
Fold it up again
Turn newspaper over and fold up bottom
Fold it up again (like other side)
Finished!
Bishop's Hat Folded from Newspaper
Use one whole sheet of newspaper
Bring top corners to center
Fold top layer at the bottom up one time
Turn newspaper over and bring corner of hat to the center
Bring other corner to the center
Fold piece at bottom up
Finished!
Now you're ready to party!
Thanks for taking the time to visit me today!
Thanks for all the wonderful ideas this year, have a wonderful new year.
I love these I am going to make these with my kids in the morning when they wake up – fun, fun, fun! Thanks for the great idea.
Love these hats, haven’t made them in a long time! Thanks so much. I am not going to use them for New Year, but definitely for dress up in the fall! Thanks and Happy New Year!

Awesome, I’m going to make them for my three kids tonight. Thanks!
HAPPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Great idea! I’m going to make these for our little boy for “fun” – missed the New Year’s Eve post!! I just discovered your blog (I know – where have I been???)!! I love it – your ideas are fabulous – hope you have a wonderful 2009!
Tried this out and would you believe our newspaper is a lot smaller than yours. I think they shrunk the paper not too long ago. It made a tiny hat. Linda Gerig
My newspapers are smaller too – what size of paper are you using? I stand with glue in hand awaiting your answer, cuz these are too cute. ~ Suzanne in northern BC Canada
Wow, great idea! I haven’t thought of newspaper hats for years. I’m going to try to make one for my 3 year old son in the morning…he’ll love it!
These are awesome!
Thanks for this! I’d forgotten how to do paper hats, so this is very useful
This is inspiring! I’m also imagining using sheets of wallpaper or gift wrap. in the blank or reverse areas lfet by the folding, a person could glue trim like buttons, ribbon little sports figures or toy car parts (boys) or a child’s initials — animals, pets, photos, anything goes.
