How to fold an origami witch’s pointed hat

Paper
One square sheet of paper.
Preparation
No cutting or gluing is included in these folding steps. Begin with “Fold the bottom corner up to the top corner”.
What you will make
A hat with a pointed crown, two brim tips, and an open pocket underneath.

Make a witch’s pointed hat from one square sheet. Fold a triangle, then overlap the sides along lines dividing the apex angle into thirds. Fold the two lower points upward once to form the brim. Gently open the pocket at the bottom, rounding the body and brim together.

Follow the 6 steps above by scrolling. Drag the model to inspect a fold from another angle, and scroll back to review a previous step.
