hi I'm Pat Kincaid I'm a research assistant for the times news media in the 40s and 50s Pressman in the newspaper business would often make a paper hat to keep the ink out of their hair they could dispose of the hat every day and they could make a new one the next day and it worked very well I have a pattern to show you I'm gonna take a section of the newspaper a full-page and with the fold to the top we're gonna fold it down and start creating our hand our Pressman's hat we have to use a little bit of modification from the actual pattern because the newspaper is not as big as it once was so the paper itself is not as big as it once was so we have to make a little modification we can't make the Hat have a point first we're folding the two folded corners in making a nice right triangle here then we're going to take the first section and fold it up just to where it meets and also creep that then then we're going to flip the entire paper over we're going to make another fold this time it has to come just a little bit more than halfway on both sides so you'll get about an inch overlap of these two flaps crisp creases will help now we have this other flap here we're going to fold a right triangle there fold it in and on the other side another right triangle increase it we're going to tuck it up just like that then we're going to turn the paper what this would ordinarily have been a point but it's not a point so we're going to we're going to fold this back so that it goes underneath this little corner slightly then we're ready to open the Hat up and that's this end and you have to make the triangles we're going to take this triangle and tuck it under the brand that you've named and do the same thing on the other side and there you have it
