How To Make a Three-Cornered Paper Hat:

Start with a double sheet of newspaper folded in the middle. With the fold at the top, fold the corners down to meet in the center. It will make a triangle on top of two rectangle flaps. Fold the flap in the front up and bend the corners over. Turn the hat over and do the same thing with the other flap. Now you have a triangle. Open the hat in the middle. Push the two end points together so the middle pushes out to form a square. The bottom points on the square are now flaps. Fold the front one up so the point meets the top point of the triangle. Turn the hat over and fold up the remaining point.

Mein hut er hat drei ecken

Mein hut er hat drei ecken
Drei ecken hat mein hut
Und hat er nicht drei ecken
Dann ist es nicht mein hut.
