Origami Painter's Hat Step 1: Start with a rectangle newspaper or a 8.5 inch x 11 inch (21.5cm x 27.9xm) paper, color side down. Thinner paper will make the later steps easier. You could try using a large sheet of art paper or wrapping paper.
Fold paper in half on the vertical axis. Crease well and unfold.
Origami Painter's Hat Step 2: Now fold paper in half on the horizontal axis, bringing the top half of the paper down to meet the bottom edge.
Origami Painter's Hat Step 3: Fold both the top right and left corners to meet in the center.
Origami Painter's Hat Step 4: Fold point A-B to meet point C-D. Fold the top layer of the paper only.
Origami Painter's Hat Step 5: Fold that layer over itself.
