It's Tuesday and thanks to @steemkidss today we are about to get creative, in the world were we see different types of craft unfolding I have explore many but come to realize my love for crafting and origami. I have always been fascinated by this word diy and have come to love it cause it gives me an opportunity to express myself through my crafts and unleash my inner passion. Through crafting we tap into our imagination, skills and emotions, transforming raw materials into something meaningful and beautiful. Today In my post I shall be creating a mini paper hat. ![IMG_20240929_124322.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNRFHqb1BDfYdh6HH36hfHoXb5M6ShiZw5TEogjXEAGBG/IMG_20240929_124322.jpg)
I have seen different hats in the market but what's more unique about my hat is it's structure and how beautiful it is. I made this hat from a pink paper and some few materials and when I finished with it it's beauty struck me, stay tuned as I unfold how i created this paper craft.
## MATERIALS USED • Pink paper • Pencil • Scissors • Gum and • Ruler ![IMG_20240929_091017.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmb9i2EReYudRpqWvfbqL9AeB5ckDELGMucbwp52b12ZdM/IMG_20240929_091017.jpg)
## PROCEDURE ## step 1 Firstly I cut a circle in the pink paper with the diameter 16 cm and fold it together.

## step 3 After doing that, I then gum the part of the pink paper which I cut and made it look like the top of the hat and keep aside. ![IMG_20240929_092317.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdEwTwUTXi13nrsJ3afyWM7gjfbNBvyuHcQGoctZEo7Dd/IMG_20240929_092317.jpg)

## step 4 After making that part, I then measured a radius of 7.5 cm on my ruler and Drew a circle and cut it out. ![IMG_20240929_093321.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRWK6sfw6Xp26s3QnKp8asdSnDHJZLWuJcWS8LKcA18Qh/IMG_20240929_093321.jpg)
## step 5 As I continued with it's structure, I folded the circle and cut its center open. ![IMG_20240929_093624.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQhmFvKA2x8cc8PbFFp5QmjFyXJEPAt1oohq33Y9unpm2/IMG_20240929_093624.jpg)
## step 6 After doing that, I then cut the edges of the top of the hat and applied some gum on it and gum both of the Pink papers together.

## step 7 After I made that part, I then gum white paper round the body of the hat and I also applied some bow tie design made with paper to it as well. ![IMG_20240929_095155.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmP95zBHMqggAoHnYhqE8CuRG31hv8CdNUidi3VUbiDiGX/IMG_20240929_095155.jpg)
