Hello everyone,
Season greetings 🎄
It's the holiday period over here and the weather here has been very dry and hot. I thought it was a good idea this Christmas that I utilize it well. I wanted to be a bit more innovative therefore I opted to devise a summer cap using cardboard paper. This was a great and easy diy craft that made it possible for me to do something different to bring myself cooler when in the sun. Here’s how I did it.
Materials Needed
- Cardboard paper
- Scissors
- Glue or tape
- A pencil
- Ruler
Stickers, markers or paints preferably in decorative form or in a place which can easily be cleaned.

Steps to Make the Cap
I started by cutting two straight lines on the cardboard paper to form a circle which is the base of the cap. I made it long enough so it can wrap round my head.
Using the wrapper circle shape from the cardboard to take measurements of the brim, then I use a ruler and pencil to draw carefully. Using scissors, I carefully cut out all the parts. I made sure the measurements were accurate so the cap would fit perfectly.
I glued the side strip to the circular piece to form the shape of the cap. Then, I attached the brim to the front of the side strip, creating the classic cap shape.
Once the structure was complete, I added my personal touch. I used markers to draw patterns and added a little write up made my own love stickers to give it a summer vibe. You could even paint it for a more colorful look
To ensure the cap was perfect, I retouch the edges with extra gum and adjusted it to fit comfortably on my head.
Me encantó este proyecto, me hubiese gustado mucho saber realizarlo cuando mis hijas estaban en el colegio, para que estuviesen en consonancia con cada una de las mil actividades en las que participaron.
Deseo que pases un feliz año
