HOW TO FOLD A PAPER HAT FOR A CRAYFISH PARTY

Wearing paper hats for a crayfish party is almost obligatory here in Sweden and of course will further elevate the party atmosphere.

How to fold a paper crayfish hat step by step:

Step 1: Fold an A4 sheet of paper in the middle. Here we have reused old wallpaper with delicate pattern, but you could use plain white paper and decorate it with a crayfish motif. Tip: use a folding bone or simply your nail to get perfect folds.

Step 2: Fold the paper back in half again so you can find the centre point of the paper.

Step 3: Unfold the second fold and place the paper in front of you with the long side at the top. Fold down each corner towards the centre line so that they create a triangular top.

Step 4: Then fold up the remaining paper at the bottom so that the entire hat holds together.

Step 5: Now the folding step is complete and it's time to shape the crayfish hat, place your hand inside to open the hat up.

Step 6: Finally, make two holes on the ends of the hat with a hole punch or scissors. Then thread a string so that your crayfish hat sits firmly on your head all evening long!

Step 7: Now your crayfish hat is ready!
