Let it not be possible to sew it from fabric, you can use durable paper. Interested in how to make a paper cap with your own hands? Very simple.

Measurements for making peakless caps

To make a sailor's headdress, you will need any thick paper, a large sheet of Whatman paper would be ideal. First you need to measure the circumference of the child's head. In order for a paper sailor's cap to stay on his head well, you need to add another three centimeters to the resulting size. It will be neededfor gluing and loose donning.

Paper cutting

When the head is measured, it is necessary to draw the details on the drawing paper. The first detail is the side of the peakless cap. To make it, you need to draw a strip with the appropriate dimensions. The length should be equal to the circumference of the head and plus three centimeters. The height of the strip is 5 centimeters. Next, you need to draw the top. In order for the baby to fit a cap made of paper, it is necessary to make the top voluminous. To do this, we need to draw two circles. The radius of the small circle (and this will be the inner one): the circumference of the head divided by 0.6. Having obtained the radius of the circle, you need to draw the circle itself. Then, to the value obtained, that is, to the radius of the small circle, you need to add 7 cm. This will be the radius of the large (outer circle). Based on the value obtained, we also draw a second circle. When drawing, it must be borne in mind that the center of both circles must be the same. When finished, you should get a circle with a round hole in the center. It then needs to be cut out. Next, you need to cut out another circle equal to the large one. Now it’s already clear how to make a paper cap with your own hands.

Assembly of parts

When the three paper parts are ready, you can start connecting. Initially, you need to glue two circles with PVA glue. To do this, grease a circle around the edges that is without a hole with glue, put a circle with a hole on top. The edges should be tightly connected, but you need to pay attention so that the glue does not get on the main part. Tillround parts are glued together, you can do the side. There is nothing complicated in this case. It is already clear how to make a peakless cap out of paper. The ends of the strip must be glued. When the side dries, you will need to attach the top to it. To do this, you need to make notches or cuts on the lower circle (which is with a hole). With scissors along the entire radius, you need to cut pieces about 5 mm long every 3-4 cm. Then bend them and carefully glue them to the side. Let the workpiece dry. Now we know how to make a paper cap with your own hands. It will take a little time for this.

Peakless design

When the preparation of the sailor's headdress is ready, you can proceed to its design. You can paint the side with blue paint before gluing. It's certainly fast, but not very exciting. It is better to use a blue satin ribbon for this. It can be glued to PVA glue, or you can use a thread with a needle and carefully fix it in several places. The stitches on the paper should be made small, and care must be taken that the needle is thin and sharp, otherwise you can tear the edge. It is also necessary to burn the ends of the ribbon with a match so that it does not bloom later. The satin ribbon should be twenty centimeters longer than the circumference of the head. After all, a sailor's ribbons develop in the wind. Therefore, when attaching it to the side, you should start sewing not the very ends, but at a distance of ten centimeters from the end. Now it has become known how to make a peakless cap out of paper with your own hands. Before putting on babya sailor's suit, we must not forget about paraphernalia. To do this, the peakless cap must be anchored in front. It can be cut out of velvet paper, or you can purchase a ready-made appliqué. With a velvet anchor, with a fluttering satin ribbon, the baby will feel like a real conqueror of the sea. You can also make a real sea collar for a peakless cap (you can also not sew from fabric, but cut it out of paper).
